Because of a small dose used and low absorption through skin (less than 1%), excretion into breast milk in significant amount is unlikely. Despite of it is well absorbed by the gut, it is rapidly and completely metabolized into Monic acid which is a non-active metabolite. However, whenever used on the nipple, it is recommended remove excess of cream by using a gauze. Effectiveness is not higher than purified Lanolin for treatment of sore or cracked nipples. Results in the treatment of nipple infection due to Staph. aureus are less encouraging than with the use of oral antibiotics. Caution should be observed with the application of creams, gels and other products that are indicated for local use if they contain paraffin (Mineral oil) to avoid absorption by the infant.

Because less than 1% is absorbed after topical application, mupirocin is considered a low risk to the nursing infant.[1] Ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated. Only water-miscible cream or gel products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[2] Mupirocin applied topically to the nipples appears to be relatively ineffective as a treatment for sore, cracked nipples.
