Dear Dr Amoushahi,

i have not really thought about this intriguing aspect much, if at all. i suppose it would depend on the type of drugs given to the patient, non lipophilic drugs should not be a problem. i think a good rule of thumb might be to wait till the patient resumes her normal routine post anaesthesia, and resume breast feeds at that time.

i have the honour to be,
yours sincerely, chandrashirish
