in all seriousness...any reason not to?
 
I'm not aware of any study on ESI in lactating women per se.

There are safety studies in regard to hormone administration (steroids) by several routes and breast feeding which showed a favorable safety profile. Although, overall production may be slightly decreased with steroid administration.

In my practice, I will instruct the mother to pump a 48 hour milk supply prior to her ESI. She may resume feedings 24 hours after the injection (mainly as I typically will give sedation; however, I do not put any opioids in the mixture). Also, I will use transforaminal approach if clinically indicated as there is a potential for less steroid consumption.
