Yes: These work locally where applied, so it is ok to use while breast feeding. Also, a high fiber diet with more fruits, vegetables and grains would help.

Yes: These are safe to use while breastfeeding. You say tried everything else, but here prevention is the key. Increase your fiber AND fluids, and even consider a gentle stool softener like Miralax (polyethylene glycol) that is safe to use in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
