I am scheduled to have surgery on July 1 and I currently nurse my son who will be 11.5 months when I have the surgery. He is obviously at this point not exclusively nursing, but he is very clingy and dependent on me to nurse for comfort. I am not very nervous about the surgery itself. I am extremely nervous about how this will effect him because he is going to want to nurse as soon as I am home (it is same day surgery where I am). I am not planning on taking the narcotic pain meds, maybe just tylenol 3. Some people have said you have to pump and dump for 24 hours because of the anesthesia and then you can nurse like normal, but then some people have said that they nursed as soon as they were able to. Any guidance on this topic would be greatly appreciated!
