would you pump and dump?

At the dentist getting a cavity filled. They gave me one dose each of lidocaine and mepivacaine and said I should pump and dump. According to Kelly mom they are classified as safe and moderately safe. I'm leaning towards not dumping. What would you do?

I would not and did not pump and dump when I had lidocaine for a root canal. I checked with the LC at my pediatrician's office and she said it should be fine. I nursed LO roughly 1.5 hours after the procedure and he seemed normal as usual

I would look it up on the free lacmed app and ask my pediatrician just in case.

I'd trust kellymom

Hmm I'm assuming I had lidocaine twice last month when I got my cavities filled and they didn't mention dumping and they knew I was nursing so I didn't think anything of it. I always trust Kellymom.

Thanks for the replies! I called the LC I saw in the hospital when I delivered, but she hasn't returned my call Im trusting Kelly mom and going to use it. If she gets back to me and has contrary info, I'll post it.
