I’ve avoided taking anything that isn’t food into my system, to ensure my baby doesn’t get anything that isn’t nutritious for her, via my milk. However, I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and I am and have been in so much pain physically. I’ve done yoga/Pilates and physio, but it hasn’t relieved or eliminated the pain. I struggle to sleep or sleep for longer than 20mins because of the pains. But I just persevere through.

Today doctor said I could still take pain killers and co codamol / dihyrocodein. How is this ok to take when surely what we eat goes into the milk production process?
