I need to take his Xanax before dentist procedure because I just have the worst anxiety. Anyone else takes Xanax while breast-feeding? My doctor gave me .25 but I’m not sure if I’ll have to take one or two.💖 my baby is almost 11 months

Baby will be fine. Don’t worry

Have u done it before? Gyno said to pump for 24 hours

Yes.

Mine advised me it was fine

I would call and ask

Call the pharmacy, not your Dr.. they're much more knowledgeable about what is safe (although I ask both because I'm paranoid..)

From my understanding the benzodiazepines can pass into the breast milk and is not recommended safe during breastfeeding. But I would definitely call the pharmacy and ask them about it first!

I take them from time to time. It does pass through breastmilk but as far as I’m aware taking it sparingly and occasionally is no problem

My gyno said to pump for 24 hours and pharmacy said it’s in breastmilk for 14 hours so don’t use it! I’ll try laughing gas or just be strong 🤣🤣😅😭

It's fine honey. .25 is nothing. Only trace amounts get to the breaatmilk.

You’re good

pharmacy and dr told me that as long as you take it a couple hours before you pump or breast feed than small trace will get into breast milk when feeding.
just check for signs after feeding to make sure but you should be good!

I went to the dentist and was able to get the work done 💖 I was really scared but the dentist was amazing and everything went great! I have to go back but since I got this done I feel better about the rest. Pregnancy did a number on my teeth so getting all my work done I couldn’t do while pregnant 🥲

Thank you everyone! 🥰
