If the product is completely homeopathic, then it is safe while bf. If you
gave a baby a full bottle of a homeopathic remedy directly by mouth, it would
pose no harm to the baby, unless the remedy is in a lactose base and caused a
stomach ache. This recently happened to a toddler here and the parent called
Poison Control, where everyone was completely uneducated about homeopathy.
The child was sent to the emergency room to have her stomach pumped!
Fortunately, I was able to get the phone number of the manufacturer to the
ER, where the docs were told how safe the product is. The child was sent
home, stomach contents intact.
