Is Baci-RX Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Baci-RX? Is Baci-RX safe for nursing mother and child? Does Baci-RX extracts into breast milk? Does Baci-RX has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Baci-RX influence milk supply or can Baci-RX decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Baci-RX usage in lactation
Because it is poorly absorbed after topical application and oral ingestion, Baci-RX 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]
