I am breastfeeding my son 1-2x a day and he is 2 years old. I also cosleep with him and my 4 year old. My son nurses only for bedtime and sometimes nap time. My dr prescribed a topical retinol cream for me to use at night time but I am afraid to use it because I am breastfeeding and cosleeping. Sometimes my children wind up sleeping with their face on my pillow and I am afraid the cream might get on them. Should I wait to use it until I am no longer breastfeeding and cosleeping?
