What should I do if I got a perm while breastfeeding?
Hi clare,
There is no evidence that hair care products (dyes, permanents, or hair relaxers) used by a nursing mom have any effect on her breastfeeding baby.
There are a lot of chemicals involved when you get a perm, but none of them is actually really harmful to human beings. The worst they do is cause allergies.

I got a perm while breastfeeding an one month baby. Later I heard that it was dangerous as the chemicals absorbed during the perm could stay in mom's body for a long time and get to the baby through mom's milk. What should I do now and how long should I wait before breastfeeding again? Thanks!
