Cosmetics and skincare products to avoid during breastfeeding?
jm
I read a lot of information on the internet about what to avoid when you are pregnant. But do the same rules apply after birth and when you breastfeed? Were you advised not to use something by a doctor? I get many skincare products as gifts, and since I am only 17 weeks I am going to avoid "brightening" masks and salcylic acid washes and products just to be safe. I also got dead sea masks and produst. I am not going to use those (unopened) products until I give birth at least.
I like to try new skincare stuff but I don't know what to do...
I alos have papaya and pineapple enzyme masks. Just wanted to mention a few things here...
Answer
You don't have to limit skincare products during breastfeeding. During pregnancy the fetus receives the same "dosage" of things as the mother has in her blood. However during breastfeeding *most* things are present at a much lower level than in mom's blood. Usually less than 10%, alcohol is present at 2% of mom's blood levels for example. Now there are a few drugs that are present in very high levels in mom's milk -but these are not skin care products.
And the amount of anything from skincare products that is absorbed is usually pretty low to start with.
You do have to be somewhat concerned about what you put on your nipples. There is some concern that a baby could receive on overdose of vitamin E from certain creams if they are applied to the nipples and not wiped off before nursing.
Can I continue to breastfeed if...?

Answer
Limit caffeine, salt, and seafood consumption. Certain fish should be avoided because of the mercury content and unpasteurized dairy products. Of course, raw foods also.
