I’m going to dentist tomorrow afternoon to have a cavity filled, with local anesthesia. The dentist advised that I not nurse baby tomorrow evening when I get home. Is she correct? Do I need to pump and dump?

I had a tooth pulled and was told that with local anesthesia I was fine to breastfeed after.

I had a cavity filled last week with local anesthesia. The dentist didn't say anything to me about not being able to breastfeed

I was due to have a local recently (didn't need in the end) but I asked the dentist about this and they said it was fine to bf 😊
