Dear Sheryl,

I had a recent experience with use of toradol post section with a  mom I saw 
on a home visit.  She'd been given toradol for 2 days in hospital and made to 
pump and discard her milk. while her baby got formula.  She said her OB was 
fine with the toradol and breastfeeding but a nurse saw that she was on the drug 
and breastfeeding and told her she couldn't breastfeed while on the med.  I 
showed her Hale's info, listed as an L2 ( also AAP approved) and she found it 
upsetting and ironic that the percocet she was still on was an L3 and no one 
cautioned her about its use.  When I spoke with her ped who was local (she 
delivered outside of area she lived) he made the comment that the temporary weaning 
was ridiculous; here, here, I agree wholeheartedly.

I'd be interested, too, in hospital LC's experience with toradol and why the 
panic with breastfeeding.
