Hello , you did not specify where do you use the cream.
It is safe to use on other parts of the body but if you're using it on your breasts, please wash them thoroughly before feeding

Hey there ..
You appear to be a young lactating mother.
If the baby is 1 year old, in my humble opinion, breastfeeding can at best be a support and not primary feed.
It can even be stopped in consultation with your pediatrician and OBG handling your particular situation.
If the child is growing well across all parameters, breast feeding at 1 yr of age in my humble opinion is an 'extra' factor and may even lead to dependant behaviour etc.
Kojicare cream can be safely used.
If at all, it is applied on the nipple areas, please wash well before feeding the child and then, reapply.
Other areas should not be an issue.
For any further ℹ️ and detailed discussion, please connect using this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
Good Luck to both mum and baby 🍼
