It's just that if you are still breastfeeding, for the sake of your baby's health, it is better to recommend mothers to keep no makeup.

Because breastfeeding mothers wear makeup is harmful to breastfeeding infants and young children. The baby's **delicate, rich blood vessels, so it can absorb a variety of substances, new mothers out of joy, every day will can't help but kiss and contact with children countless times, so that it will inadvertently transfer cosmetics to children.

Even if the amount of sex hormones contained in general cosmetics is relatively small, if it is exposed to it for a long time, it will accumulate in the baby's body, which can cause precocious puberty or abnormal sexual development in children.

Some new mothers are worried that after giving birth to a baby, they will age faster, so they apply anti-aging cosmetics on their faces, but they do not know that these cosmetics will contain a large amount of estrogen. Even if the mother does not kiss the baby, she must apply cosmetics with her hands, and if the hands stained with hormones touch the baby again, it will indirectly bring hormones to them, which will bring unexpected harm to the baby.

In addition, many cosmetic pigments, such as whitening cosmetics, contain lead, chromium, mercury and other heavy metals, and some anti-aging cosmetics also contain estrogen, once these cosmetics are absorbed, long-term use can cause uterine cancer and breast cancer. There are also some cosmetics that contain nitrosodiethanolamine, a strong carcinogen, which is easy to induce liver cancer.

Experts also said that the toxicity of many cosmetics is a long-term effect, which is generally not easy to detect in a short period of time, but if it accumulates over time, it will induce cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that cosmetics should be used with caution, especially for pregnant and lactating women, so as to prevent the carcinogens and teratogenic substances in cosmetics from sneaking into the fetus through contact, or entering the body of children with milk, poisoning the fetus or the health of infants and young children.
