Hello,
Since lubricants act locally in the vagina and are not absorbed to act anywhere in the body, I don't think there is any danger for the breastfed baby. During breastfeeding, it is common to observe vaginal dryness. It is therefore excellent to use a lubricant during sexual intercourse.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that silicone-based lubricants are not compatible with condoms, so it is better to use a water-based lubricant in this case.
I hope this answers your question,
Sandrine
