ask lng mga mommies

Hi mama! Congrats on getting your implant done, that's brave! Okay so from what a few of us have picked up, local anesthesia from dental work is generally safe for breastfeeding right after, kaya pwede mo agad i-latch ang baby mo without worry. One of my mum friends had a tooth extraction postpartum and her dentist gave her the same green light, no need to stop feeding. That said, some dentists still ask moms to pump and dump for a few hours out of extra caution (even though it's not always necessary), so it really depends on kung anong instructions ang specific dentist or anesthesiologist mo ang binigay. Better to double-check with your doctor or the dental clinic na nag-handle sa implant mo, they'll know exactly what anesthetic they used and can give you the most accurate advice for your situation. You'll be fine either way, mama!
