Tylenol plus codeine

has anyone else been prescribed Tylenol plus codeine after delivery and are breast feeding? I have been taking it, and now that I have read about it online I'm worried about my baby getting toxicity.

    I took both. If the hospital gave it to you, I'm sure it's okay. They wouldn't perscribe you something that would harm LO...

    I asked them if it was okay and they said it was. I guess I just need to stay off the internet lol! I'm a FTM and a worry wart!

    I just wouldn't recommend take it for long. All opiates are addictive and the withdrawal symptoms are horrible.

    The constipation is awesome :( I take fioricet with codeine for my migraines which has Tylenol and codeine in it and you have to watch for constipation. I took miralax to avoid it.

    I started with that & it wasn't strong enough. Doc then prescribed Percoset. Didn't realize the Percoset & Motrin 800 were causing so much constipation. Ugh. Colace is NOT cutting it. Do you think Miralax works better @klkonwi ? I have some of that & haven't tried it yet.

    I dont know if they'll give it to me this time around but I had it in the hospital with my first. I only took it a couple of times though because I didnt want the baby getting too much of it. I was told its safe to take tho, but like you I was a big worry wort!

    Miralax is way better. It's gentle. It works by the next day. @krystleshel colace really doesn't do much!!!

    I have only taken it twice. I had a c-section so I need something. I will probably just stick to Tylenol!

    Yes I took it and left with a prescription for it... Currently back in hospital for infection and taking Percocet ... Doctor said it does pass through but considered safe while nursing for short term use.

    Lurking from July. I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine for migraines. Doc told me it is safe to take while pregnant since my liver does the filtering, but I shouldn't take it while BFing. The babies liver isn't developed enough yet to filter that much acetaminophen. Not saying this is the gospel truth, just what my OB told me. I would just double check with your doc and tell him/her what you have read online.

    ^^no...I promise you they would not prescribe you something toxic to baby. You are fine (just don't take more than prescribed)
