Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use TCA? Is TCA safe for nursing mother and child? Does TCA extracts into breast milk? Does TCA has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can TCA influence milk supply or can TCA decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About TCA usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of TCA on the skin during breastfeeding. Because it is unlikely to be appreciably absorbed or appear in breastmilk, it is considered safe to use during breastfeeding.[1] Avoid application to areas of the body that might come in direct contact with the infant's skin or where the drug might be ingested by the infant via licking.
