Regarding pain medication use during breastfeeding, the general pediatric view is as follows: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) and ibuprofen are generally considered safe options for breastfeeding mothers. Acetaminophen passes into milk only in very small amounts and poses no risk to your baby. Ibuprofen similarly passes minimally into milk. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and codeine-containing pain relievers should be avoided while breastfeeding. Still, before taking any pain reliever, consult your doctor or pharmacist — they can recommend the best option based on pain severity and duration.
