Can I get my toenails done while I'm breastfeeding?

Women who are breastfeeding must pay more attention to the care and health of their bodies, and pay attention to what things are not suitable to do during breastfeeding. It is not recommended for women to do toenails or apply nail polish during breastfeeding, because this will affect the health of pregnancy and breastfeeding. They should pay attention to healthy and scientific eating habits and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.

1. Don’t do

Nail polish used for manicures will cause certain harm to the human body, so it is not recommended to do manicures during pregnancy and lactation. Don't do your nails. Choose cosmetics that are suitable for breastfeeding. Take a rest and eat a balanced diet, including more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and foods high in protein.

2. Dietary taboos

For the sake of her own and her baby's health, mothers should avoid consuming certain foods that may affect milk secretion or having some personal special hobbies during breastfeeding, so as not to destroy the good feeding effect.

1. Foods that inhibit milk secretion: such as leeks, malt, ginseng and other foods.

2. Irritating things: The diet after childbirth should be light. Do not eat irritating things, including spicy seasonings, peppers, alcohol, coffee and cigarettes.

3. Fried foods and high-fat foods: These foods are difficult to digest and are high in calories, so they should be consumed in moderation.

4. Cigarettes and tobacco: If a breastfeeding mother continues to smoke while breastfeeding, nicotine will quickly appear in the breast milk and be absorbed by the baby. Studies have shown that nicotine has adverse effects on the baby's respiratory tract. Therefore, it is best for breastfeeding mothers to quit smoking and avoid inhaling secondhand smoke.

5. Medicine: For breastfeeding mothers, although most medicines will not affect the baby at normal doses, it is still recommended that breastfeeding mothers tell their doctors that they are breastfeeding before taking the medicine on their own, so that the doctor can prescribe suitable medicines and choose medicines with shorter duration to minimize the amount of medicine that passes through breast milk.
