Out of place but desperate

[hoodsey]

Hey everyone, I know this is rather out of place since its breastfeeding related. I requested to join the BF community but I really need some feedback asap

Are your pills scored so that you could cut 'em in half?

[hoodsey]

Yes.

I guess I'm mainly afraid of the sedation to the baby people have written about.

:-/ I am sorry that I don't have any experience... hopefully your request to join breastfeeding will get approved soon, they are great over there with regards to drugs and nursing!

Yea, thats where I saw the L3 same as vicodin. But then I went and read some other articles that sort of chickened me out. lol

[ainea]

Well... That's where you went wrong. =P

Did you come across this? SafeFetus.com.

I'm looking on MotherRisk (which is the Canadian version of InfantRisk, but I'm not really finding anything concrete.)

[hoodsey]

Hadn't seen that. Now, when it says sedation, does it just mean they get sleepy or is it talking about like... CNS depression sorta thing??

I was given this for my kidney stone pain (8 weeks pp), it was just suggested to me that I take it either immediately before or right after I pumped (I pump exclusively). This way it wouldn't get in be in my system by the next time I pumped. Also I was told that if she did get any in my milk it would make her a little drowsy, but it wasn't harmful. I didn't have any trouble w/ that. I guess 3 weeks pp might be different because you are probably feeding more often.

I was prescribed oxycodone for kidney stones when I was still pregnant. My OB said it was fine for a short period of time and would just make the baby sleepy.
