What pain meds can you take after C/S while BF?

I'm about to have my 3rd little boy in September & have really been contemplating BFing. It'll be an all new experience because I never tried it with my other children.. So question is.. how do they manage your pain while BFing after a C/S?? (repeat) I received percocets & motrin & just didnt know what they do when you breast feed. Any info is appreciated  

Percocet and Motrin

I think they do the same. I don't really remember because I didn't really need pain meds, especially once I left the hospital.

They are safe? & I tried managing my pain without them but with this being my 4th section I need them :/

Well I know it's not the best, but I took my oxycotin that I got from the hospital and pumped while on it. I just didn't take as much, and stopped taking it as soon as it didn't hurt as much. Then regular tylenol was fine. I do have to say one thing, DS slept a TON for the first three weeks of his life lol.

I can imagine it makes them very sleeeeppy lol

I took Percocet exclusively because I'm allergic to NSAIDs but you can take Motrin too.

I got a prescription for motrin 800 mg and that was plenty for me but I don't remember taking them much at all. You could ask your OB and see if there's any other options, but with BFing there's not much out there that doesn't cross into the milk.

My midwife, and nurse said that it was perfectly okay to BF on oxy. Just not to take it for an exstended time.

I have to alternate the two.

As long as your doctor that prescribed them knew that you were breastfeeding (and they normally do because I seem to remember that being a question that they ask) what you've been given should be safe. After the birth of my first I was on Hydrocodone and Ibuprofen and was assured that both were safe while I was breast feeding. Just be prepared for baby to be a little more sleepy than normal, so you may have to do a little more work to coax and keep them awake. I'm sending you lots of healing vibes! Good luck!

thank you

I was given hydrocodone and ibprofin to alternate with breastfeeding.
