Is using Qcare Rx Oral Cleansing And Suctioning System, Q4 unsafe in breastfeeding? Can there be bad consequences for baby if I use it while breastfeeding?
NURSING MOTHERS It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse is administered to nursing women. In parturition and lactation studies with rats, no evidence of impaired parturition or of toxic effects to suckling pups was observed when chlorhexidine gluconate was administered to dams at doses that were over 100 times greater than that which would result from a person’s ingesting 30 mL of Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse per day.

Hydrogen peroxide while Breastfeeding
SafeCAS Number: 7722-84-1
An oxidizing agent which is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, deodorant and for hair bleaching. At latest update relevant published data were not found on excretion into breast milk. It is found naturally in breastmilk (Al-Kerwi 2005) and can be produced by certain lactobacilli (Martin 2006). Because of the small dose used and poor absorption into plasma of most topical dermatologic preparations, it is unlikely a significant excretion into breast milk. Do not apply it on the breast to prevent ingestion by the infant; otherwise, do it just after a meal and clean the nipple thoroughly with water before the next feed.
Chlorhexidine gluconate while Breastfeeding
Safe
Iodine-free disinfectant which is widely use for skin, mouth, and, obstetric disinfection. It is preferred over iodine-based disinfectants in order to avoid high iodine exposure to the child in the neonatal and breastfeeding period that would pose a higher risk for thyroid dysfunction. Because of pharmacokinetic data (high molecular weight, high capacity for serum protein-binding and poor oral or gut absorption) significant excretion into breast milk is unlikely. Used for obstetrical purposes (vaginal or C-section wounds) even during birth or in the puerperal period, has failed to cause harm neither to the newborn nor the breastfed child. Although use in the nipple may not cause troubles to the breastfed infant (except one reported case in 1989) it is not considered to be a justified practice for prevention of mastitis. Any way, it is preferred to avoid use on the nipple, at least on a long-term basis. If used, wash the nipple thoroughly before nursing. List of Essential Medicines by WHO 2002: compatible with breastfeeding.

Chlorhexidine gluconate while Breastfeeding
CAS Number: 55-56-1
Chlorhexidine has been used vaginally or topically on the abdomen or perineum prior to delivery to prevent infection. No toxicity has been reported in breastfed infants and it has clearly less toxicity compared to povidone-iodine in these situations. Topical application of chlorhexidine to the breast before and after nursing did not appear to adversely affect the breastfed infants in one study. Use of chlorhexidine oral rinse by a nursing mother is unlikely to adversely affect her infant.
