Yes they are safe. I just had my 3rd csection & let's face it there is pain & u need something for the pain. But anyway yes taking ibuprofen & perc are okay while nursing, I've taken them after each C. & I always ask to confirm if it's okay while nursing. It's been 8 days since I had the baby & have already limited my doses bcuz I'm in less pain 1-perc & 2-3-Ibpro a day.
