A member asked:
I'm a nursing mother to a 9 month old baby. i want to go to the salon and have my hair colored or something soon. is it safe (for baby) if i go and get my hair colored, dyed, bleached or treated at a hair salon? i only ask this because i am nursing?

It should be fine, but avoid chemical odors around the baby in general. Continue to nurse, remember your 9 month old check up with your Pediatrician. At this age, the baby should have a healthy well balanced diet which incorporates baby food for age three times daily. Review the growth chart at the next visit, and eligible family members should have a COVID 19 vaccination series.
