Carla;
This is what Medications and Mother's Milk 2002 states:
Codeine
Tylenol #3, #4
...The amount of codeine secreted into milk is low and dose dependent.
Infant response is hegher during neonatal period.  Four cases of neonatal
apnea have been reported following administration of 60mg codeine every
4-6hrs to breastfeeding women although codeine was not detected in serum of
the infants tested.  .... Number #3 tablets contain 30mg and #4 contain 60mg
of codeine......

Lacation Risk Category: L3 {Moderately safe}

Pediatric concerns: Several rare cases of neonatal apnea have been reported,
but at higher doses.  Codeine analgesics are so commonly used postpartum,
that side effects are extremely rare and seldom reported.  Observe for
sedation, apnea in premature or weakened infants.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
Patricia
