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