After getting a numbing shot in the foot is it ok to still breast feed?

Safe: Local anesthetics are usually safe with breastfeeding and not secreted in human milk, usually compatible with breastfeeding.

Perfectly OK: A local anesthetic or steroid shot in the foot does not affect your breast milk. If you received antibiotics, check with your doc to remind them to give you one that allows you to breast feed. Ps - congratulations for breast feeding your infant! keep up the good work.

Yes: A numbing shot in the foot usually has anesthetic (like you get at the dentist) and cortisone to help with the inflammation.

Good luck and congratulations!
