1. Motrin is ok - kellymom.com has a list of BFing safe meds.
2. I don't wax so no help there ;-)

1. While I was in the hospital, the nurses gave me both Motrin and Tylenol 3, knowing that I was breastfeeding. I assume normal Tylenol is OK, too, based on this, but check with your doctor first.
2. I don't wax, but I use a trimmer. I trimmed about 10 days postpartum, and the skin was pretty sensitive to the comb attachment on the trimmer. The thought of waxing makes me cringe! I'd say ask your doctor at your two-week and/ or six-week checkup.
