ropivacaine hydrochloride (naropen)
Dear Friends:
    One site I checked states that no problems have been reported in babies
when this drug has been used. Another site describes many negative effects on
babies who have been exposed to this drug during labor, but no problems with
breastfeeding. It isn't known if the drug is passed into human milk (or
colostrum).
    Generally, a drug that has to be injected to be effective won't have any
impact if ingested.
    Ask the anesthestists what their evidence is.....
    warmly,
