A member asked:
Can you use bacitracin while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
General rules: The medications in lotions or ointments that you apply to your skin are not absorbed into the blood to a level that would effect the breast milk. As long as you are not using it directly on the feeding surface this is fine.
