Wondering the effects of Flexeril, a muscle relaxant given to a patient of mine for jaw spasms, and her 2 1/2 month old robust (15 lb) baby. This is an L3 in Hale's references, and it states it is "not necessarily a reason to wean" with its use. 

The dentist told this mother that she needs to wean for up to 7 days after the last pill is taken due to its long half life. I don't believe this is correct, but would like to know from the others on the list if they have had patients take this with no problems in the baby.

Thank you ever so much,
Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC
