At this point it is probably too late to taper from Suboxone safely and comfortably. Acute withdrawals may hurt the pregnancy and three weeks is not enough to completely taper off the 16 mg you are on. Suboxone has been used safely in both pregnancy and nursing and as long as you nurse your baby s/he should not go through the withdrawals. Baby will wean slowly with you as you gently taper while nursing or when s/he weans down from nursing. Do communicate with your doctor or midwife so that you are on the same page. So to reiterate as long as you are nursing the baby will not go into withdrawals. Good luck to you and my best wishes. 17:11:54 olive 2014/12/8 17:11:54 If you slowly taper the Suboxone off your baby probably be tapered slowly with you without any problems but you should have done it with your doctor's supervision. Even tapering off of 1 mg of Suboxone may be too abrupt during pregnancy. You should probably do it slower and gentler than that. But please get a physician involved in this process. That way you can be sure that long time before the delivery both you and the baby are clean and ready to start healthy bonding and nursing. The OB/midwife will also be there to guide you though good prenatal care healthy nutrition smoking cessation (if necessary) etc.. Good luck to you motherhood is a career full of joys and pain but we all do it for the joy of it... P.S. Please read my blog on Pregnancy and Addiction by clicking on name in blue and then on blogs. Good luck to you and your growing family. You must take care of yourself for your baby. Good luck to you.
