Toddler, Oxycodone,Ativan

[admin]

Chas21:

It is quite unlikely that this infant (2 years old) would receive enough milk per day to produce a clinical dose of oxycodone, or ativan. I think it is reasonably safe in your situation to continue to breastfeed.

Just observe the infant for sedation or sleepiness.

I am currently breastfeeding a 2 year old. I am on oxycodone 30mg twice a day for back pain due to metal plates from a car accident and ativan 1mg twice a day for anxiety and sleep. I cannot find any information on breastfeeding a toddler and medications. Your help would be grealty appreciated. Could this be harming him? Should I stop breastfeeding him? He usally only nurses at night before bed. Thanks in advance.
