Hi all, I, too, have a question about the use of Motrin/Ibuprofin. After I had my son, I was given a prescription for motrin to have filled out for any pain I might have. My OB said it was fine to use with BF. However since I was in no pain, I didn't fill out the prescription. Well, I had a real problem with muscle tension due to stress that I had been suffering from for many years, that had been causing severe heasaches, neckaches, and shoulder pain every day, for most of the day. I began taking 600mg of Ibuprofin (generic store brand) 4 times a day every day, and did that for 8 mo into BF. Then I went to a massage therapist and 6 months later have only taken Ibuprofin maybe 3 times for headaches. What I'm getting at, in a long way, is is there any research that shows any problems with taking that much Ibuprofin for that long a time while BF? I have seen no ill effects in my son so I figured it was OK and figured it was OK since my OB was going to give me a prescrip for 800mg. With this type of situation, and also one where the cause of the pain cannot be dealt with thru chiropractors or a massage therapist (mine was VERY good!) I would think that the health of the mother (regarding her mental health with dealing with pain 24-7) would be a key issue. I know that when I would run out of Ibuproin the pain I was in would put me into such a BAD mood that no one wanted to be around me! It didn't make for ease in dealing with a baby either! Any references? TIA! Jay
