Dear Lactnetters -
I spoke with a mom on the phone (permission granted to post) who works in a
dialysis center 23 hrs/week (3 days). Her baby is 5 months old, and she
pumps in a conference room about 40 ft from the dialysis room. She is
concerned about the strong odors/vapors from the formaldehyde.
I looked this up in Hale and in the lactnet archives. While it is clear that
"mild to minimal" exposure is considered safe, I can not find a guideline
for what determines "mild to minimal." The only other posts I could find on
lactnet were either significantly less exposure (8 hrs/ wk) or significantly
more (spilled formaldehyde).
The mom was quite clear that if it poses a risk to her baby she will find
another position; although she does not want to do this unnecessarily.
Any and all advice would be most appreciated.
Thank You.
