I am using this E-Mail through my husband's computer from work. His name is Paul Horner but the question is coming from Karen. I recently received a question from a new mother in one of my childbirth classes. She is successfully breastfeeding her 3 week old son and would like to have her hair colored. She called to ask if there would be any harm to the baby from the chemicals used when coloring hair. I looked through the breastfeeding texts that I have and could not find any information. I do not ever remember reading anything on this topic either. I am pretty sure that these chemicals would not get into breastmilk but would like to know if anyone has any thoughts on the subject or knows where I might find some information. Thanks for your help, Karen Horner RN, BSN, CCE, IBCLC
