8778737 tn?1413827423 Breast feeding can be so painful when we start out, I breast fed my son exclusively for until he grew out of it... The pain wont last forever and it is well worth it. Hang in there <3 There are nice gel nipple pads that I loved but they are expensive from the mercy mall, also la leches league sells similar pads along with lanolin (like vasaline) to help with pain.
Avatar f tn I had horrrrible cramps afterwards and they gave me percocets. They hurt more than giving birth did!
Avatar f tn My midwife said I could take advil because of pain and fever and it was safe for my baby he's perfectly fine.
Avatar f tn Oh just re-read your question and honestly I don't know. I do know you can take ibuprofen while breastfeeding and you can take tylenol and ibuprofen together. So if you have ibuprofen I'd take that.

Avatar f tn For me, i breastfed for about 2 weeks and then got mastitis and stopped producing enough milk. I stopped breastfeeding and I was engorged and in pain for like 2-3 days and then it didn't hurt anymore after that! You do what you want.
Avatar f tn While I was in hospital I was taking percocet and Motrin for pain and I was sent home with oxycodone and ibuprofen. I am strictly breastfeeding. While in the hospital only my colostrum was coming out.. now my milk has come in and I'm thinking that the pain meds are in my milk bc every time my baby eats he is knocked out cold after only eating for a few minutes, nothing wakes him except a diaper change.. he wakes up to eat again and then will go right back to sleep.

Avatar f tn I am breastfeeding) any time i take ibuprofen i tend to sweat and be okay by the next day
6935419 tn?1392153040 I was already prescribed ibuprofen for swelling from the birth so that probably helped me not feel pain afterwards. If you're not prescribed ibuprofen three OTC ibuprofen is the same dose. The nurses told me that bc it's cheaper than the prescription. I can't remember how long I took it. If you're breastfeeding I wouldn't use it.

Avatar f tn says and see if the medication he may or may not give you is safe will breastfeeding. Use ice or cold pack for pain and if you can take ibuprofen for swelling. It is hard to know what this is until someone sees it. Is it bleeding, cracked? Do you see any reddened areas? How long have you been breastfeeding and how often do you feed?
Avatar f tn Is 3-6 200mg Ibuprofen a day for a 3-6 days a week bad for you over a long period of time?
3122657 tn?1357432602 Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.
Avatar f tn Has anyone heard of any reactions to ibuprofen while pregnant?
Avatar f tn is it safe to take ibuprofen when pregnant? Just once? Ran out of tylenol.
1386405 tn?1291587800 ok I just read online that you are not suppose to take ibuprofen while you are pregnant again im 5 weeks i took total of seven not all together of course over say a period of maybe two days due to a severe toothache did i do something stupid is my baby going to be ok.
Avatar m tn whenever i take even one 550mg (naproxen) ibuprofen and then drink, my stomach gets tender and bloated and i feel bad. i usually take a maalox or something like that, yet i never throw up from it so i don't know if that's applicable for you. i think it is due to the ibuprofen, but if you're not used to eating spicy foods then it could have disagreed with you, not necessarily meaning food poisoning. you should never drink and take NSAIDs at the same time.
Avatar f tn My doctor said that ibuprofen is a big no no but then again it is only one time and many have taken it before knowing they were pregnant i am sure u and ur baby will be fine just try not to have it next time.
Avatar f tn I started having this sharp pain in the upper right breast and im having pain and just worried what can it be should i go to the doctor? I stop breastfeeding 4 months ago amd suffer from a mast before what can it be?
