Hi. I am 10 weeks Postpartum - I took this dose of norco for 4 weeks after I gave birth (about one a day) for a tear, and breastfeed the whole time. Stopped for 3 weeks.
3 weeks ago, I had a severe gallbladder attack, and was once again put on Norco until I have my gallbladder taken out in a couple of weeks. I'm again taking about one a day, and breastfeeding.
My concern is - even though I'm only taking one pill a day on average, am I going to have problems with the baby going through withdrawals? How do I handle that? My surgery is two weeks from today, and I imagine being on medication until then and then possibly up to a week after at least... so that's about 6 weeks of one norco a day. I try to give her formula after I've taken my pill, and abstain from breastfeeding for four hours. Should I be concerned with withdrawal?
