Morphine pump? Are you serious? I had a c-section and wasn’t breastfeeding and didn’t get morphine, much less a pump. I got Ibuprofen.

I think this is an interesting questions merely because I had a c-sec on 05 and I as well, got a morphine pump after surgery although I didn’t breast feed that time either. I am wondering about this myself since my c-sec is in feb. as well. Good Question, wish I could help (just didn’t want you to feel bad because the other answers were so “shocked” you got a morphine drip)

They can. They gave me ibuprofen and T3.. That was also a couple (9) years ago. There has been more info since then. So, I have a list of meds that are approved, approved with caution, and NOT recommended.
In fact, my last baby was born in Feb of 07 and I didn’t get morphine then either. Interesting to note that some here do….They gave me a block and that held me for a long time. I never even had an epi.

My wife was given Morphine Pump for pain management for about 1-2 days. Prior to attaching the pump she was breast pumped for colostrum and the nurses fed my son the expressed colostrum and infant formula via NGT or Nasogastric Tube, while he was on incubator for 4 days.
After the Morphine Pump was removed she was given other types of medicine via her IV dextrose for pain management and she was wheeled to the nursery ward for breast feeding. She and my son was out of the hospital in 1 week from birth.
My son will be 2 this Christmas.
