Hello,
I just purchased ADCE and now that it has arrived, I noticed on the packaging materials that it says to not be used while breastfeeding. I contacted Janson-Beckett almost a week ago for more information on this and still haven't heard anything from them. Can anyone please elaborate on this for me? Also, as my daughter is now a toddler, I am only breastfeeding 1-2x a day. I was wondering if this makes any difference in usage, (as opposed to a mother that is constantly breastfeeding a newborn?) I am so looking forward to using ADCE but of course, not at the expense of the health of my little girl. Also just an FYI, I was planning to use it on my face right now, not on the stretchmarks on my breasts...although I'm sure they could benefit a great deal from it... Laughing

Thanks for any advice.

This is an interesting point.
It does make you wonder what you are absorbing into your skin that could prove harmful, I would hold off and wait until you stop breastfeeding altogether.

This question has been raised several times before. A long time ago I spoke with JB concerning this. Things can change so I think it best that you speak with JB directly. Try using their live chat.

Winnie, I tried to search for this topic before posting but came up empty handed. If you know of any links to any previous discussions, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks also for the tip of trying J-B's live chat. As I still haven't heard anything back from them, I think I'll give that a try.

Oops, okay now I did find one link to a previous discussion about this. By the link, it looks like it might be okay as long as I don't use it on my breasts. I hope so because the product has been sitting on my dresser for two weeks and I'm just itching to use it!! I think I still will contact J-B live chat just to be sure though. Thanks for the input.

Yes, do contact them to hear directly from them concerning product usage and breast feeding. Until then go by what the directions say. Hope you get to use it soon. Smile

I realise that the above thread is pretty old now, but I have only just stumbled across it. I have been using the JB ADCE as part of the sample pack and I am also breastfeeding. I have not seen any reference to it on the packaging. Does anyone know any more about this?
Thanks in advance

The whole ingredient list would possibly be a big help, some essential oils are contraindicated while breastfeeding. The Vitamin A which is a fat soluble vitamin and stores in the liver may be an issue assuming that from the name it contains a form of Vitamin A. You can't use Retin A while breastfeeding either, I believe this is true of the derivatives as well. Smile
