Colgate duraphat 5000 in breastfeeding

[sciencepotato]

Has anyone used a high fluoride toothpaste during breastfeeding and baby was OK? Mine is 1 yo and uses boob mainly for comfort but still gets some milk out and I'm too anxious about using the high fluoride toothpaste at the moment. Considering even stopping to breastfeed...

Really hard to say because you’re only using it topically not eating it. It is toxic a neurotoxin I think

Googled this and it indicates fluoride toothpaste can be used

It's prescription so did you ask whoever prescribed it? It's only toxic if you're eating it
Spit it out and don't swallow
