Voltaren and BFing

[Starfish]

Hi Adele

I would imagine that if it doesn't have a warning not to take while BF on the packet then it should be okay. Maybe do a google search on it to see what you can find out.

Good luck for your trip.

thanks you two.

I've read the pack and googled it and it says that while it goes through in to BM it has no observed effects on the baby so that to me means that it doesn't have bad effects on the baby but they want to cover their arses and not say that it's safe if they don't know. My mum's a dentist and she knows this kind of thing...she said to just take it and Mary, if they give it to post c-section mums then I'm sure they assume that many/most of them would be BFing.

I think I'll go ahead and take it for a week max. I've been seeing a chiro for some bad back troubles and even a masseusse for my back and I've recently develloped a pain in my left wrist from carrying Logan and pushing the stroller (geez, I sound like an old woman!) so I may as well kill many birds with one stone.

Thanks for your help girls!
