I have my first AF since having Jackson and now need some pain relief. What is ok and whats not ok to take while breastfeeding? I know Panadol and Nurofen are ok but they dont usually work on me for AF.
I used to take Ponstan and on the odd occasion Naprogesic. Are either of these ok? ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

No I don't think they are. Check with your Dr maybe, but I wouldn't take them. -------------

Check with your doctor - as a rule of thumb paracetamol is the safe option, you can also take codiene for severe pain (as a short term option). ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Oh Ponstan...that bad huh? I was on that too.
I would definately talk to your doctor before taking anything more than Panadol. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Codeine is normally fine, they give it post c/s, and nurofen/voltaren as well. -------------

I second cuppatea - voltaren is all good. In fact, maybe try taking panadol and voltaren together (according to their separate instructions of course) and hopefully that might make a diff? Hugs, the first AF is NOT fun!  -------------

Great thanks ladies. I will give the Panadol and Nurofen a go together and then check with my Dr next time I see him.

Maybe ask your local pharmacist - they should be clued up about those kinds of things. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Paracetamol, ibuprofen, and diclofenac sodium are safe to take while BFing. Naprogesic is listed as an L3, so use with caution and watch for signs of sedation. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
