    Tramadol and breastfeeding

    Hi, i was prescribed tramadol 50mg 1-2x/day for postoperative pain for ten days. Im breastfeeding one year old toddler, about 9kg. Is it safe to take tramadol, if i keep 6 hour break with breastfeeding after taking tramadol? I am also taking paracetamol and ibuprofein as prescribed but those dont work enough for my pain. Thank you in advance

    Your plan to wait 6 hours and use paracetamol and ibuprofen in between the tramadol is a great. This schedule should minimize your baby's exposure to the tramadol. Great job researching this and coming up with a feasible schedule to continue breastfeeding!

        Correct, if you take the tramadol and wait to nurse as you described above, you will limit exposure to your baby.
