Hair growth serum advice
Hello Doctor, I am 11 months postpartum and currently breastfeeding. I have started using the WishCare Hair Growth Serum, which contains Redensyl, Anagain, Baicapil, Caffeine, and topical Saw Palmetto. I am very careful—I apply it only to my scalp, wash my hands immediately with soap, and do not let my baby touch my hair. I want to confirm if these ingredients pose any risk of transferring into my breast milk or affecting my baby given my strict safety habits."

Applied only to the scalp with the hygiene precautions you're already taking, systemic absorption into breast milk from these ingredients is expected to be minimal, though if you want full reassurance for something used regularly, your paediatrician can weigh in on the specific ingredients too.
