To Jeanette F. Panchula:

        Ibuprofen is a good choice, perhaps best choice, in a BFing mom
because of its  poor prenetration into breastmilk.   Less than 0.6% of the
maternal dose is transferred into  milk.   In one patient receiving 400 mg
twice daily,  milk levels were less than 0.5 mg / liter of milk.   Just
observe the infant for GI distress.  Have mom breastfeed,  then take
medicine.  Wait several hours to refeed.
