Breastfeeding And Painkillers

[Beltane]

I have an infection in my tooth and am getting a root canal done on Thursday. I am currently taking Tramadol as I am in agony. Since it's too dangerous to breastfeed, I am supplementing with formula
I am pumping and dumping so I don't dry up and hubby is even offering to suckle on my ta-ta's to keep my milk flow up. My question is, after the surgery, can I take percocet and resume breastfeeding? I miss it sooooooo much and the formula has him constipated like crazy. A friend of mine told me that percocet is okay during breastfeeding.

@ hubby's offer!

I'm not sure what percocet is the brand name for but I had very severe neck pain with a trapped nerve and I saw a Dr who said I could stack paracetamol (tylenol) and ibuprofen safely as the amount passed is so small. Dunno if that helps...

You can ask your dr to give you something BF friendly

paracetamol and ibuprophen is good. I had bad tooth/face pain for a week that started as a clicky jaw joint a few months back before escolating into agony...Thought it might have been an abcess but it seems to have cleared on its own. (Maybe i just wore my jaw out talking too much)

I assume you're on a course of antibiotics and thats your main concern? I know there are safe bf'ing ones but i'm not sure they are strong enough to deal with nasty tooth probs. Some definately pass quite a large amount into your boobie supply thats for sure..
