Sunscreen for breastfeeding mother
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 ?
