Can a breast feeding woman expose herself to chemicals ?
Answer:
Make sure the room is well ventilated - turn the fan on in the bathroom and wear rubber gloves so you don't absorb the chemical.
As long as you use these products in a well ventilated room there should be no problem. Make sure you wear rubber gloves as well. Women have been cleaning bathrooms and carpets whether they are breast feeding or not for centuries.
Yes, but of course it is better not to: breastfeeding or not.
"Cleaning Products (and other volatiles/solvents)
Things that are used on the skin or inhaled are rarely absorbed into the maternal bloodstream in significant enough amounts to reach the milk. For something like this to pass into the milk enough to affect baby, mom's exposure would probably need to be to such an extent that she becomes very ill.
Anytime you're using something with lots of fumes, it's always a good idea to use lots of ventilation (open a door/window, use a fan) and minimize any skin contact (wear gloves, etc)."
