sandikiyomi,
There are no studies available on the safety of using Eucrisa while breastfeeding, or how much transfers into breast milk. We think if it is used sparingly on a small area for a short duration of time it is probably ok. According to the manufacturer it can be used directly in pediatric patients age 2 years and older for topical treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
