i dont know this from experience but i have read that you cannot color your hair until the 3rd trimester. i'm not sure why, but im in my first and its aggravating because i wanna color my hair too!! as for drinking while breast feeding i have read a glass once a month or so is fine but drinking on a regular basis is not because the baby is taking in from your breast milk whatever you do. which is why you still have to be careful with medicines and etc. hope i helped a little:) gl!

First of all, you can certainly cut your hair, that has no effect on the baby. The coloring, however, is the subject of much debate...I say go for it. I colored my hair during my 1st 2 pregnancies. But many people say that it's not good. As far as I know, there is no study or research to show that it's bad for baby. Consult your dr and follow his advice, would be my suggestion.
Now as for the drinking while breastfeeding...I would say no, but ONE occassional drink I don't think hurts anything...just helps baby sleep better. You have to watch what you eat and drink because it gets into your breast milk, therefore effecting baby. Again, consult your dr.
Good luck.

Yes, you can cut your hair. I have never coloured my hair during pregnancy, but I have always heard that it is safe after the first trimester.
You shouldn't drink while you are breast feeding because it goes into your breast milk, which then goes into your baby. The same thing goes with taking medications.

consult your doc before dying your hair... I think it depends on what colour you want. Black is def out of the question.(doc orders), I've heard mixed anwsers on this one, but black dye was always a no. My advice, wait till after the baby is born.
As for drinking while breastfeeding ... again you'll get mixed answers, but my breastfeeding consultant told me that 2 drinks a week was fine and if I wasn't feeling the effects from the booze then the baby wouldn't either. Consultant also said if you want to get drunk...bump first before drinking so baby has milk then after you get drunk bump again only this stuff gets dumped.
Of course ask your doc/midwife about both to be on the safe side.

I'm going to assume you're pregnant so...
Check out www.babycenter.com and educate yourself about pregnancy do's and don'ts. Always ask your doctor questions, too, and make sure you get prenatal care.
Of course you can cut your hair. The jury is still out as to whether or not you can dye it, though. I did, but I waited until I was through the first trimester.
Alcohol is a no-no during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The alcohol goes directly into your breastmilk and you pass it on to your child.

You can use hair dye after your 13th week.
You shouldn't drink while pregnant or when you breastfeed. When you are breastfeeding the alcohol will go into your breast milk and will be passed directly to your baby.

Yes you can cut your hair. Many people also dye their hair and all turns out well. No, you cant drink while breastfeeding although a glass of wine here and there is fine.

yes you can cut and dye your hair... they say as long as you don't smell the fumes for more then a couple of hours you are fine... and when you breastfeed.. everything you eat and drink get passed onto your baby.. so if you drink alcohol.. your baby will too and that is a big no no

my doc told me you can cut your hair but shouldnt dye your hair. she said after a certian point in your pregnancy you can, but i didnt ask what it was because she said shouldnt and i wasnt going to.
yes you can drink when you breastfeed because what you put in your mouth and what goes threw your body effects the milk too which will effect your baby if he/she is drinking it.
