Happy Valentine's to you all!
I have a mother who will have surgery on a hernia when her currently 6 week
old baby is 6 months old.  She has been told that she will not be able to
lift anything over 15 pounds and that will include her baby.   It is hard to
care for a baby alone if you can not lift it, she needs ideas on how to get
through the day while her husband is at work.  We are also wondering what if
any medications might be contraindicated for breastfeeding and should be
avoided both for the surgery and to handle postoperative pain.
Thank you for your insight.
