Brief Answer:
Avoid during nursing

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern

There is insufficient data to predict how much of the anti scabies creams get absorbed and get distributed in breast milk. It would be advisable to temporarily avoid the drug during the time when the mother is nursing.

wishing you best of health
