I have a bf mom of a 3mo old who has had back pain since the birth. MD put her on 800mg 3X/d of Ibuprofen and told her to pump and dump. She says "It's so sad to see my milk go down the drain, and listen to my baby cry" Yeech, I almost cried just listening to her. My Hale copy says only small amt gets into breast milk even when 400mg are given, but she is on twice that much. She says at first it helped but now she is in as much pain as ever. She was going to a PT visit today which I hope will help her. But in the meantime, can she breastfeed and take this maxi dose of Ibuprofen? Long term doses like this cause liver damage, and even kidney problems., So I hesitate to tell her to bf. My inclination is to call the MD to ask about less, or a different med. Let's hear from you Lactnetters. Thanks. Michelle Scott, RD,MA,IBCLC in NH
