A member asked:
Will it harm baby if i breastfeed while i'm on methadone? please answer asap...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, likely not but: It is a dose dependant response. We use post op opiods all the time without an issue. Did u just start it or we're u on it in pregnancy? What is the dosage? What have u been doing thus far and how has the baby responded? Generally the transfer into breast milk and serum concentration will be low in a baby but it is dose dependant and response based on fetal exposure. I don't wanna give bad info.
