I have a mom who has been advised to pump and dump whiletaking these two creams topically for scabies. The Sluocinonide is (according to the mom) a .05% cortizone cream, applied 3X daily on rash (for comfort, i believe). The Elimite is one application taken tuesday, and another next week, i believe. I cannot find anything on the Sluocinonide specifically. I have the information on Elmite from Hale (via our LLL PL), but any more infor on that would be greatly appreciated - as in, how soon is it gone from the mother's system? Could the baby nurse now, after having had an application on tuesday - assuming that it IS contraindicated for breastfeeding, or that hte mother chooses to believe it is .. . . If hte Sluocinonide is contraindicated, is there an alternative? My understanding is that cortizone creams are not generally a problem. I know that inhaled corticosteroids aren't usually a problem, and are much higher potency/direct transfer to blood, etc. ANy help or info greatly appreciated!! Mom is pumping and feeding formula, but not happy about it. Thanks! Lyla W. La Leche League Leader - Oakland/Berkeley [log in to unmask]
