I am a breastfeeding mother. I have very low milk supply and I am mainly using formula for feeding. Can I use demelan cream (kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin) now to reduce pigmentation. Will it affect my baby. He is getting my breast milk in very little amount.

Even then it's better to take the cream once you have totally stopped breastfeeding.

You can use it after 6 months of your postpartum.

For increasing the amount of breast milk, you can start shatawari powder 2 teaspoons full in 1 glass of milk daily for 2-3 months. Avoid using demelan cream, as you are breast feeding.
