Answer by DrLact: About Gantrosan usage in lactation
With healthy, fullterm infants it appears acceptable to use Gantrosan during breastfeeding after the newborn period.[1][2] Until further data are accumulated, alternate agents should probably be used in jaundiced, ill, stressed or premature infants, because of the risk of bilirubin displacement and kernicterus. Gantrosan should be avoided while breastfeeding a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficient infant.
