I know you shouldnt use them during pregnancy as they say it can cause birth defects but what about while nursing? ThanksIs it ok to use skincare creams with vitamin A in them while breastfeeding?
Obbers link is right, OTC skin creams are not a concern unless applied directly to the nipple. In which case things like vitamin E cream may cause overdose.





So just don't put it on your boobs unless you'd put in in your own mouth AND its not high in fat soluble vitamins.Is it ok to use skincare creams with vitamin A in them while breastfeeding?
Do you mean Retin-A?





';Topical use of Retin-A (tretinoin) is generally considered compatible with breastfeeding. Per Thomas Hale, PhD (Medications and Mothers' Milk), ';absorption of tretinoin [Retin-A] via topical sources is reported to be minimal, and breastmilk concentrations would likely be minimal to none.';

If it's just an OTC cream with regular vitamin A added, you need not worry at all.
