The amount of medication in your blood stream is influenced by the dose given. The baby is exposed to any medication given to the mother. However, the amount of intrathecal drug that crosses into the baby is minimal and is safe for both mother and baby. Your body will eliminate the medications before your breasts begin producing milk for breast-feeding.
