Can you brest feed while taking Percocet

I think my foggy nursing brain says definately not.  The best resource would be your pharmacist!  Hope this helps.

What ever you take your baby takes! Surely the doctor that prescribed this knew you were breast feeding right? If not he needs to be told right away. Good luck and try your best to deal with the pain through alternative means for the sake of your child. However, if your doctor feels it is necessary for you to be on a narcotic pain reliever then you may want to pump breast milk prior to taking pain medication and give formula in between if necessary. Hope this helps. Been there, done that.

Actually the PDR says Percocet is "probably safe" to use during breastfeeding.  If you still have concerns, talk to your pharmacist about it.  Most pharmacists are quite happy to discuss your medications with you.

We have a great thread on Pregnancy, Motherhood and Chronic Pain in our forum.  Several other mothers have shared what medications they took during pregnancy and breastfeeding.  Feel free to join the discussion, share your concerns and ask questions.
