I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Caswell No. 716? Is Caswell No. 716 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Caswell No. 716 extracts into breast milk? Does Caswell No. 716 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Caswell No. 716 influence milk supply or can Caswell No. 716 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Because absorption after topical application is very limited, occasional Caswell No. 716 and piperonyl butoxide use is acceptable in nursing mothers. Extensive exposure, such as from agricultural use or malaria control might have long-term health concerns because residues can be found in breastmilk.[1] Only water-miscible cream, gel or liquid products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[2]
