I am having a large baker's cyst behind my knee ruptured and aspirated. They will inject lidocaine to numb the area then aspirate the fluid, then inject up to 40mg of kenalog to seal the cyst and help keep it from coming back. I have an eleven month old breastfeeding infant and wonder if it is safe to breastfeed her directly after the procedure or if I will need to pump and dump? ThAnks so much.
