Hi Moms! Once again I am in need of your expertise. First I would like to thank Lilliana & Tammy for the VERY helpful advice on my previous post. It is so nice to have support. I have decided to let my son self wean. I realize it was only the comments of others that had me doubting myself. I do not want, and am not ready to wean. Now here is my new complication. While popping fireworks with my 2 older children I received 2nd degree burns. I explained to the Dr. that I am nursing he said the meds he gave me will not hurt my son. I took the 2 vicodin taking his advice. However when I left the hospital I tried to find the drug on the Kelly moms website I couldn't find it. The pharmacist was no help either. Finally I found some info on a site saying that mothers who have had c-sections & taken this medication nursed and had no problems. The pharmacist said their data base only gave info on how long it would be in my system & recommended stop nursing for 10 days. 10 days, are you kidding!!! He will be miserable & wean his self. I finally called poison control and she said I could nurse him in the morning. This made me very happy. But can you please help me! I don't want to hurt my baby & I don't want to wean. I will not take the prescription he gave me for loratab. I just want to nurse my baby please give any advice or info you have. I only took the 2 vicodin at the hospital & will not be taking anymore. Thank you
