Vicodin is LC2, and is fine while breastfeeding although you want to watch out for sleepiness in the newborn and constipation in both you and the baby. It's best to feed the babe and THEN take the pill so as to reduce the amount that transfers to the newborn.
I took literal mountains of Vicodin when I was PP with DS, because I had a gallbladder infection that went on for 9 days and Vicodin was the only thing that kept me from going insane until they took the stupid thing out. I really *wanted* it to be non-BF safe so that I could march in there and insist on immediate surgery, but alas, I had to wait.
And, to put the cherry on top of the craptastic cake, the Vicodin didn't do a whole heck of a lot for the afterpains either.
I'm hoping maybe this time if I combine it with cramp bark and cal/mag supplements it might help. Some.
Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Toradol isn't safe for BF.
I wanted it for cramps when my period came back (at 6 weeks postpartum, because God hates me) and was told that I had a choice between tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen and narcotics because nothing else was BF-safe.
