PTP:

Mother exclusively breastfeeding 3.5 month old daughter with no issues.  Goes in for a standard dental filling and receives mepivacaine.  Next day daughter nurses every 30 minutes and is fussy and bobbing on and off.  Mother feels she's never had a problem with milk supply. Calls her  OB who says that mepivacaine can have a "drying" effect.  Dentist says he's never heard of any issues.  LactMed has no information on it.  Anyone run into something like this?
