If I use bleach to clean my kitchen floor will breathing in the fumes affect my breastmilk?

Use a product called citrasolve instead. It is all natural and available at health food stores.
It is the only product I have found that rivals bleach and annonia. (do not use it on plastic though, as label says, as it will melt it)
This is much better for the health of your entire family.
I have included a link to show you what the product looks like in the source box..
Consider switching to natural and homemade products and cleaners.

Using bleach or other kinds of cleaning products in the normal manner, in a well ventilated room, will most likely not affect your breastmilk.
However, if you have lingering concerns or if your child is crawling, it may be more beneficial for you to use something other than bleach to clean your floor.
Here are some things to try:
• Hydrogen peroxide makes a great bleaching agent and disinfectant.
• Borax replaces bleach in the toilet. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.
• Baking soda is a scrub for sinks and tub. For tough soap scum use a little liquid soap.
These products may take longer but they really do work and have less chemicals than commerical cleaning products and bleach.
Good luck!

No the bleach will NOT affect your breast milk what u eat is the only thing affects your breast milk unless you tend to drink the bleach which I highly doubt..Your breast milk will be fine just make sure your in a well ventilated area , pediatric nurse for 13 years and still going strong..

I would say no....but I would rather be safe then sorry by using a paper mask like you would find at Home Depot in the paint section they're not expensive. If your that worried about it have your significant other do the mopping..

It shouldn't.
Make sure that you are in a well ventilated room; open the windows or have an air filter near by.

NO. Do make sure the room is ventilated. It's more unpleasant for you to smell it, your breast milk won't be affected.

If it doesn't effect you it's not likely to effect your milk
