Percocet is a narcotic. It is indeed excreted in human breast milk. That means your baby is being dosed with narcotic every time you breastfeed. This could lead to a decreased feeding reflex in your baby. He/she might display a loss of interest in feeding and become cranky with crying when the narcotic is not ingested: withdrawal symptoms, in other words. Narcotics will also disrupt the baby's sleeping patterns and can cause gastrointestinal (stomach) problems for your baby. There's also a chance of oversedation with decreased breathing rate. If you must use percocet, bottle feed your baby.
