Patient's question:
Description of condition: It has been about four or five days since I got my hair (permed) and (dyed), and I have been breastfeeding and feeling well. I haven't had any other symptoms.History of treatment and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
Help needed: Hello Dr. Li, when my baby was 65 days old, I got my hair (permed) and (dyed). Recently, the child has been in good spirits, but now I feel very regretful and worried. I'm concerned about whether there might be any serious issues.
Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended to dye hair during breastfeeding because certain hair dyes contain chemical ingredients that can affect breast milk to some extent, potentially reducing its quality. However, since your baby is currently 9 months old and has been consuming breast milk for a month after dyeing their hair without showing any obvious discomfort, it should not be a major issue. It is advised that you primarily monitor the situation for now and avoid taking special interventions. If any discomfort arises, please seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, make sure to provide your baby with a variety of nutritious complementary foods. Breastfeeding mothers should always consider that some ingredients in medications and cosmetics can negatively affect the baby through breast milk.
