She used the cream twice a week for 7-8 months for vaginal dryness. The cream contains 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens per each gram used. Apparantly, her doctor indicated this would be okay with breastfeeding, but after discontinuing use, her daughter has shown signs of breast enlargement. Her pediatrician has indicated concern over the extended use of the cream. Her daughter was about 4 months old when the mother started using the cream, and the mother discontinued use when the child was 12 months old. Her daughter is now 15 months old, still nursing, and has developed one breast that is slightly larger than the other. There are other possible causes for the condition that are currently being investigated, but the mother is interested in any information connecting the use of the cream with breast enlargement in the infant. In particular she is concerned whether the condition in her daughter is temporary. I realize that we most likely don't have any information to alleviate this fear, but any information you could find would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention on this matter. I will await your response. Sincerely, Sheryl Farrington Bridgman LLL
