I was approached by a Mom who is on morphine for chronic pain - 60 mg BID. She states that she has been on this for 2 years (may be a drug user). I don't know her history other then what she told me in our brief conversation. She is 7 months pregnant.
Her physician has informed her that 1) She cannot breastfeed due to the drugs 2) She would like to switch her to Methadone.
My first thought is her baby may go into withdrawal (when born) if she does not breastfeed. Does anyone have any experience with this?
