Is Baciguent Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Baciguent? Is Baciguent safe for nursing mother and child? Does Baciguent extracts into breast milk? Does Baciguent has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Baciguent influence milk supply or can Baciguent decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Baciguent usage in lactation
Because it is poorly absorbed after topical application and oral ingestion, Baciguent is considered a low risk to the nursing infant.[1] Only water-miscible cream or gel products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[2]
