Skin Care Products and Breastfeeding: What's with all the "Warnings"?!

“Warning: If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use.”

Have you ever turned over a hair or skin care product and seen that warning tucked onto the bottom of the label in fine print? How can you tell when it’s based on evidence or a worry over liability? Today on the Milk Minute Maureen and Heather chat about actual risks to consider when making purchases.

Listener Question: I'm about to start fertility treatments to have a second baby after a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. I'm still nursing my 2-and-a-half year old and not ready to stop. I'm not sure if they'll recommend if I stop nursing when I start hormones or get pregnant again, given my history.
