Can I pull my hair while breastfeeding?

Since breastfeeding women have to secrete a large amount of milk for their children, all body indicators must be within the healthy range in order to add contamination factors to their children's milk. Any harmful irritants that a mother is exposed to may be passed to her baby through breast milk. For example, many women like to straighten their hair because straight hair can make people look more energetic, but hair straightening requires some chemical elements, otherwise the straight hair effect cannot be achieved for a long time. Are these chemicals harmful to children? Let’s take a look at whether it is okay to pull hair during breastfeeding?

The main reasons why you can’t straighten your hair during breastfeeding are as follows:

1. Straightening your hair during breastfeeding will aggravate hair loss: Hair loss during breastfeeding is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. However, if you do your hair during breastfeeding, it will damage the basic tissue of the hair, which will not only increase the degree and scope of hair loss, but also affect the health of the mother's scalp.

2. Straightening hair of breastfeeding mothers will affect the health of their babies : breastfeeding babies have weak resistance and delicate skin, but irritating chemicals are used in hairdressing, which may enter the blood through the scalp. Toxic substances in breast milk will enter the baby's body. At the same time, when the mother is taking care of the baby, it is inevitable that her hair will come into contact with the baby's skin, which can easily cause allergies. Toxic substances participate in blood circulation in the body through hair marrow, respiration, skin and other means. Once they enter the body, they are difficult to be excreted. This is not good for breastfeeding children.

3. Doing hair during breastfeeding may also cause skin allergies for the mother. A mother after giving birth is like a newborn, and a breastfeeding mother's resistance is relatively weak. The irritating lotion used in hair styling may cause skin allergies and affect the mother's health.

To sum up, breastfeeding mothers should never get their hair done for the sake of their own and their baby’s health.

The above is an explanation of the impact of pulling hair during breastfeeding. I hope that mothers will pay attention to this issue and not pull their hair casually to avoid affecting the baby's development.
