While she lacks good judgment for taking a medication before making sure it's safe, her comment may not have been as stupid as it sounds. Waiting until after the baby breastfeeds has been recommended for other medications (my first comment cited research, but I'm too lazy this morning to do that again). This decreases the amount secreted into the breastmilk. Of course, drug onset makes a difference as does the feeding schedule. So...mother is irresponsible, but there may have been some logic in how she took it.DreamingTreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911536074688347584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-87903380783561094802009-10-29T23:21:07.102-04:002009-10-29T23:21:07.102-04:00LOL...I feel your pain!

Luckily for me, no...I wouldn't say so, Flavius! Luckily for me, no periods while I was breastfeeding meant no migraines. However I went to a very fancy party at a private hospital (a doctor there was then married to my best friend). He got us both completely sloshed by adding things to our drinks, knowing we were both breast feeding, and making a crash cart into a crib with pillows. Neither his wife nor I were happy about this and kept creeping back to check up on our daughters. Mind you, he turned out to be a pyschopath (loooong story) and no longer works in medicine, which is probably just as well!

It would've all been the same to her anyways. Of course, dealing with migraines is probably more important than insuring your child's safety, yes?<br /><br />-FlaviusFlaviusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-85327382290122872602009-10-29T11:54:41.236-04:002009-10-29T11:54:41.236-04:00In the mouth, down the throat, and out the nipples...In the mouth, down the throat, and out the nipples.
