Dear Lactnetters,
 
Permission to post from a mom who took this med (buprenorphrine) in  
pregnancy (Hale says Class C risk in pregnancy and L3 risk in  breastfeeding) and 
continues on it postpartum. AAP has not reviewed  this med, at least according to 
the 2004 edition of Hale.  It is a  narcotic analgesic.
 
The baby was determined to be showing withdrawal signs and was started  on 
Morphine.  The is three weeks old, still hospitalized and has had a  tapering 
down dose in the last week and a half.  I don't really know  why the baby was 
not put on Phenobarbital and  discharged. 
 
The baby is very fussy in the evening, usually around 7 to 10 or 11  PM.  He 
has normal breastfeeding stools, some seedy and some runny, more  liquid at 
times.  When it is more liquid, the baby receives a point  on the abstinence 
score.  This baby also gets points for being fussy,  high tone, etc.  What she 
describes could sound a lot like a colicky  baby. Wt. gain is good.  Back to 
birth weight before 2 weeks.  Mom has  a great milk supply.  
 
If anyone has had experience with a baby whose mom took this med in  
pregnancy and can report on its effect on her newborn, would you share your  
experience with the list?
 
Thank you for your assistance.
