Would dying my hair affect me breast feeding my baby ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Research is lacking but most hair dyes contain very toxic chemicals like para-phenylenediamine that are absorbed through the skin & might get into breast milk. I would not risk exposing my baby to such poisons. Consider natural non-toxic alternatives to synthetic dyes.
