Yes, it is as long as you are taking the least effective dose and only as prescribed by your doctor and only when really needed. Of course, you should watch the baby for adverse signs and speak with her pediatrician if you suspect there are problems related to the use of these narcotics.

I am curious, why are you using both? I have been given rx's for both, but generally did not take them together as not only is that a lot of narcotic medication, but a lot of Tylenol as well.

I agree with Andi. I've been on vicodin twice now while bfing and it didn't seem to effect the baby at all.

Yes, it's safe.  I had surgery right after Gavin was born and they gave me morphine and they told me it was safe while BF, it would maybe make him a little sleepy!  You would be surprised to know what drugs are safe during nursing.
