Does pulling hair while breastfeeding have an impact on the baby?

Patient's question:

The baby has been losing hair for 50 days and is also being breastfed. After a few days, I heard from others that hair loss is not allowed during breastfeeding. What should I do? Is it noticeable? No need to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who are breastfeeding are more likely to experience hair dryness and blockage, and the medication can be harmful to the baby through breast milk. It is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding. Further careful observation is needed to assess the impact on the baby, and no monitoring data will be available for the time being. The above advice is for the question "My baby has been losing hair for 50 days, and I have been breastfeeding. What should I do?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
