Is GBZ Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use GBZ? Is GBZ safe for nursing mother and child? Does GBZ extracts into breast milk? Does GBZ has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can GBZ influence milk supply or can GBZ decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About GBZ usage in lactation
Because no information is available on the use of GBZ during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
