Patient's question:
Description of condition: It has been four or five days since I had my hair styled and colored, 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 desired: Hello Dr. Li, when my baby was 65 days old, I had my hair styled and colored. In the past few days, the baby 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:
Problem Analysis: Hello, it is not advisable to get a hair treatment during breastfeeding. This is to prevent certain chemical components in the hair treatment from being absorbed through the scalp into the body, which could then affect breast milk.Suggestions: If you have already had a hair treatment, it is recommended to wash and care for your hair daily. This can help reduce the smell and components of chemicals, thereby minimizing their impact on breastfeeding. Hair softeners contain many chemical components that can easily pass into breast milk and potentially cause skin allergies in babies.
