Abstract

Many women undergo anaesthetic procedures related to childbirth or during the period of lactation. Most anaesthetic drugs are lipophilic and are thus excreted into breast milk. This article summarises available knowledge regarding anaesthetics, their excretion into breast milk and possible effects on the suckling infant. The consequences of such an exposure are discussed in terms of whether breast-feeding should be allowed or not after anaesthetic procedures.
