I have a 2 month old baby and was just wondering if it would have an effect on my breast milk if i dyed my hair

as the dye will only be on the hair shaft and little on the scalp, it seems its harmless. but the fumes that are ingested aren't the most natural thing and may cause allergic reaction in some. so in this respect, try not to smell allot, and definitely keep the baby away from you until you have thoroughly washed it away

According to theBREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, published by La Leche League International, no evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of hair-care products, such as hair dyes and permanents, has any effect on her breastfeeding baby. When a mother uses hair-care products, some of the chemicals will be absorbed through her skin. If her scalp is healthy and intact, less will be absorbed than if the skin on her scalp is scratched or abraded.

Yes you can, I used to be a hair colour technician. If you're concerned about it, try foil high-lights. This does not touch the scalp.

My cousin dyed her hair, did her nails, and all that the whole time she was pregnant with all three of her kids. So I think you will be fine.

No. Set your baby down, THEN dye your hair.
