During breastfeeding, I got my hair straightened. Now, what will happen when the baby is feeding?

Patient's question:

I want to ask you, I don't know if getting my hair straightened during breastfeeding will have any consequences now that the baby is eating. About the treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't gone to the hospital for any check-ups. What kind of help do I want: I want to know if the baby will experience any situation due to the hair straightening.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, we advocate breastfeeding because it is economical and convenient. In addition to providing various nutrients needed by the baby, it is best not to straighten hair during breastfeeding, as the chemicals in the hair straightening products may contain carcinogens. It is recommended to tie your hair up while feeding, as the smell may cause discomfort to the baby, in addition to monitoring the baby's condition. The above suggestions are for the question "What are the consequences of straightening hair during breastfeeding, and what will the baby experience while feeding?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
