    Appendicitis- is piperacillin/tazobactam sage for breastfeeding?

    I had surgery for my appendicitis and it seems my doctors don’t quite know when I can nurse again. I pumped and dumped so far but i will probably be discharged today. My baby is 5 months old and drank what I was able to pump (5oz) before I started medication and now reduses The donated breastmilk of my cousin. She last nursed 36 hours ago. I had hydromorphine till before surgery. I am currently on tazocin (piperacillin and tazobactam) and on heparin. Please advise. My baby is miserable without me!

    Heparin, tazocin, and hydromorphone are OK as along as the dose of hydromorphine is not too high < 4 mg every 4 hours. This dose has led to infant sedation, so keep it below this dose.
