Accidentally used Anthisan when breastfeeding

Advice please! I accidentally used some Anthisan on some insect bites without even thinking and I’m breastfeeding… it advises not to use it when pregnant or breastfeeding so I don’t know what to do now!

Don’t use it again? You’ll be fine, they only say this because they can’t test products on pregnant women-not that they are proven to do harm. Use sudocrem instead. Don’t worry.

It’ll be fine, it just hasn’t specifically been tested with pregnant or bf women, that’s all.
One application will not hurt. If it makes you feel better you can pump and dump your milk for a couple of hours but I honestly wouldn’t bother.

Thank you both! I’ll slap some sudocrem on and stop stressing.
