It's fine: You had a c-section and Percocet is a reasonable thing to take-1-2 pills every 4-6hours. The concern is, if you take it prior to breastfeeding, sometimes the baby can become sleepy and not feed well. If your baby is feeding well, don't concern yourself about it. If you are concerned, try taking the Percocet just after breastfeeding, but no more often than prescribed. Be sure your doc communicates!
