A member asked:
Is it safe to take senna tablets during breast feeding? my baby is just one month old and iam suffering from constipation due to pain killers....
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Narcotic pain: relievers can get into breast milk and affect the baby. You can increase fluids and fiber and stop the narcotic pain relievers to help the constipation.
