Postpartum pain relief . After having a baby you might need to take some pain relief for one reason or another. It could be that you've had stitches, you might be suffering from hormonal headaches or even a sore back. . If you are breastfeeding your baby, you shouldn't take any analgesia containing codeine. This is because in some women it metabolises too quick meaning the baby could suffer from respiratory depression. . Paracetamol is generally safe to use, along with ibuprofen but always check with your care provider if you are unsure. . . . . . . . . . . #postnatal #postpartum #painrelief #analgesia #midwife #babyadvice #babytips #medicine #postpartumfitness #motherhood #mom #mum #studentmidwives #studentmidwife #doctor #medical #pregnancyadvice #pregnancylife #maternity #hospital #health #brrastfeeding #lactation #breastfeed
