Xanax while breast-feeding

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

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 🥲

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
