Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester? Is 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester safe for nursing mother and child? Does 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester extracts into breast milk? Does 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester influence milk supply or can 3,7-Dimethyl-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonanetetraenoic acid ethyl ester decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
