I have a colonoscopy booked for Friday. I have to take a laxative on Thursday which is category c for breastfeeding. Ie not tested. I will also be sedated on the Friday.
My dd is 22 months but is still a boob monster. She will eat and drink other stuff (abit) but uses breastfeeding as a comfort and for nutrition.
Realistically I will have to sop feeding Thursday pm and possibly not restart until sedation has worn off.
Any tips greatly appreciated. Part of me wants to sleep somewhere else before colonoscopy as through of having to withhold milk when she is going to be distressed scares me.
Any tips or personal experience appreciated. Also should I gi to see gp to discuss.
Thank you
