    Hair Care Products (dyes, permanents, relaxers)

    There is no evidence that hair care products (dyes, permanents, or hair relaxers) used by a nursing mom have any effect on her breastfeeding baby.

    http://www.lalecheleague.org/FAQ/hair.html

    According to theBREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, published by La Leche League International, no evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of hair-care products, such as hair dyes and permanents, has any effect on her breastfeeding baby. When a mother uses hair-care products, some of the chemicals will be absorbed through her skin. If her scalp is healthy and intact, less will be absorbed than if the skin on her scalp is scratched or abraded.

    Sure- I used to eat lead paint and I'm fine now.

    Doctors don't know what they're talking about- they lack the brains to be able to critique a study so they simply parrot off what the summaries.

    I was once involved in pharmaceuticals trade- the amount of idiot doctors and ob/gyns out there is phenomenal. They are beyond thick.

    Yes, you can, but if you have long hair, try to tie it back until you've been able to wash your hair a couple of times. Some babies are really put off by the odor.

    You can as it's unlikely that it will be harmful as very few chemicals can pass through to your breastmilk.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. You can get stuff that doesn't have ammonia in it. They just don't want you to do it if it's in your 1st tri-mester of pregnancy.

    I don't see why not,just make sure it is all natural,(like no amonia)..also ask your physician to be on the safe side!
