>I've got questions for this mom -- 1)why on earth would she want to do
wisdom teeth removal at three weeks PP????? IT CAN WAIT!!!! (unless she's
got open oozing abscesses!!!)
>                                        2)why does she HAVE to accept the
valium? and what about the other antibiotics, anesthetics, pain killers for
after....
>                                        3)is she aware of the risk of yeast
problems bc of this???
>                                        4) How is her baby going to go the
4-6 hours of surgery without nursing? Bottles? how about nipple confusion???
formula??? How about engorgement/plugged duct at a result???

>Just the procrastinator in myself coming out, but I've known too many
people not with new babies who were down for the count for at least 3-5 days
with wisdom teeth removal... valium is the least of her worries. Put this
off until the baby is older and when she has it done refuse the valium and
go with "safe" anesthesias...
