Wow, no, I have never heard of Percocet being contraindicated with
breastfeeding.  That's based on 4.5 years as an OB RN, policies at 4
different hospitals, and professional and personal experience on my
part.  Is this a pediatrician who is concerned, or an OB?  I mean, I
guess never say never, right?  Maybe there is some confluence of
events where Percocet would make a respiratory difference?  I haven't
seen it yet.

Good luck fighting this!
