In addition to any effects of the anesthesia , this mom may want to consider time away from her baby.



ABM Clinical Protocol #15: Analgesia and Anesthesia for the Breastfeeding Mother is available online  http://www.bfmed.org/Media/Files/Protocols/Protocol_15_revised_2012.pdf



Among other things, it says:



Mothers with normal term or older infants can generally resume breastfeeding as soon as they are awake [following general anesthetic], stable, and alert. Resumption of normal mentation is a hallmark that these medications have redistributed from the plasma compartment (and thus generally the milk compartment) and entered adipose and muscle tissue where they are slowly released.
