I am a 32 year old Mother of a five month old baby girl and scheduled to have a total joint replacement in my hip next month. I am wondering about the possible affects of anesthesia(general or spinal) after the initial surgery, as well as taking narcotic painkillers afterwards, possibly a few days to a week. Which Narcotic would be the most benign for my baby? And how long should I wait before nursing after I have stopped taking the drugs? I have never used opiates or narcotics before so i understand a small dose will be effective but I am not sure of the dosing as of yet. I just want to know how to protect My baby from any adverse effects. I am stockpiling milking the freezer to feed her but am not sure how long to plan for as far as waiting for the drugs to pass through my system.
Thank you!
Thank you!
