Is it true that dyeing hair during breastfeeding can cause death in infants?

Some time ago, a post circulated on the Internet saying that a new mother dyed her hair while breastfeeding, which caused the death of her baby. It was later discovered that this was a rumor. Although dyeing or perming hair during breastfeeding will not cause the death of the baby, such practice is not recommended. Dyeing or perming hair during breastfeeding will not only cause certain harm to women, but will also have adverse effects on the breastfeeding baby.

1. Hair loss during lactation can aggravate hair loss

Hair loss during breastfeeding is the biggest headache for new mothers, and many mothers often suffer from postpartum depression because of it. However, hair loss is an inevitable phenomenon during breastfeeding, so there is no need to worry too much. Perming your hair during breastfeeding will damage the basic tissue of the hair and may increase and accelerate the extent and scope of hair loss.

2. Perming during breastfeeding affects the baby's health

Newborn babies have delicate skin and very weak resistance. Often after dyeing or perming the hair, it will appear inadvertently while taking care of the baby, and the hair will pass across the baby's body, hair, and face. These are very likely to cause allergic reactions in babies. These effects will often affect the baby's body, and the severity may cause the baby to need to go to the hospital for lead removal treatment.

3. Perming during breastfeeding affects the mother’s health

Breastfeeding mothers have low resistance. If the hair dye has quality problems, it is likely to cause a series of diseases in the mother, such as skin allergies, breast cancer, skin cancer, etc. Various tissues of the human body may undergo some changes after childbirth. Just because a person is not allergic to hair perming during pregnancy does not mean that he or she will not be allergic after childbirth, so breastfeeding women must pay attention to this point.

4. The effect of hair styling agents on perming during lactation

The styling agent used for perming contains Freon, which is harmful to the human body and produces toxins when inhaled. Although it will not directly enter the breast milk and invade the baby's body, the harmful effect of this toxic substance on the young body will definitely be greater than that on the mother's body.

5. Health concerns caused by bad hair dyes

If you choose bad hair dyes for perming your hair during breastfeeding, the chemical ingredients will enter the skin of mothers and babies, which may cause diseases such as skin cancer and breast cancer, and may also cause developmental deformities in the baby.
