Sunscreen for breastfeeding mother

2023-03-15 12:12:56
I have 9 month old baby who is on breast feeding. Last month I started using sunscreen (foxtale dewy) which have following ingredients- vitamin b3, b5 and E. Today someone told me breast feeding mother should not use sunscreen. But I already used for 1 month. Would this have caused any issue for my baby or will cause in future ? What type of sunscreen I can use ?

Hii... Better not to use any chemical based ... Use physical sunscreen and physical protection with white cloth while going out to sun that makes double protection from sun and u wil be safe... Take plenty of fluids and healthy diet
