Hi!
Do you have other medical history, or just breastfeeding? Any allergies or intolerances to certain medication?
If nothing else to note, Cerave is a good brand of products. However, the SA contains salicylic acid. With a quick research, this comes up: No information is available on the clinical use of salicylic acid on the skin during breastfeeding. Because it is unlikely to be appreciably absorbed or appear in breastmilk, it is considered safe to use during breastfeeding
Since you are applying it on your skin of your legs, the systemic absorption is minimal. However, it would be best to use Cerave regular or eczema instead, to avoid the SA version if possible. Nonetheless, overall it seems safe to use.
Hope this helps, don’t hesitate if you have any other questions :)
