In this episode, Dr. Allison Lee, obstetric anesthesiologist from the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Alison Stuebe, maternal-fetal medicine physician and breastfeeding expert from UNC-Chapel Hill, tackle the myths surrounding breastfeeding after non-OB anesthesia. The discussion covers why there’s a common misconception that mothers must stop breastfeeding post-anesthesia, the 2019 ASA guidelines, and the effects of various pain medications on lactation. Dr. Lee and Dr. Stuebe emphasize the importance of evidence-based decision-making, shared communication between healthcare providers, and the impact of pain management on the postpartum experience.
