Patient's question:
I am already 30 years old this year, and it has been more than three months since I gave birth to my baby. I have been breastfeeding exclusively. Recently, I want to go back to work at my company. May I ask if women who are breastfeeding can normally wear makeup?Doctor's answer:
It's best not to frequently wear makeup or get beauty treatments during breastfeeding. Cosmetics used may contain harmful chemical ingredients, which can be absorbed by the skin, enter the bloodstream, and then be passed into breast milk for the baby to ingest, potentially causing harm to the child. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, get plenty of rest, and take care of your mood. I wish you good health. New mothers should avoid using various cosmetics to prevent harmful chemicals from affecting the baby's normal growth and development through the mother's body.
