Phillips Lumea and breastfeeding

[NotSoFancyNancy]

Dc3 is a few weeks old and desperate to remove facial hair eventually!
Has anyone used while breastfeeding? I know instructions say not to while breastfeeding. Does anyone know why?

I think your skin can be more sensitive, but not sure.
I've used mine while BFing (albeit a toddler not a baby) and had no problems.

[NotSoFancyNancy]

Thanks that makes sense. Will leave a little while( but not too long). I intend to feed for at least a year.

[2LittleMonkeysJumpingOnMyHead]

I wouldn't worry about leaving it too long, give it a couple of months and test out on a small area, maybe. Or if probably use it right away if I wanted to, as I'm sure all this stuff not recommend d while BFing is just where the companies want to cover themselves as can't test its safety.

[NotSoFancyNancy]

You're probably right 2LittleMonkey. I would understand not using if chemicals etc involved. Just to find the time now!
Did it work well for you?

[2LittleMonkeysJumpingOnMyHead]

I'm rubbish at keeping up the zapping, which you really need to do, it seems, so keep having to start over. The legs were too big an area for me, too.

[2LittleMonkeysJumpingOnMyHead]

But yes, it worked!

I have used it while breastfeeding both of mine. I can't imagine what would the problem be. It's just a very strong and bright light isn't it?

I bought it when bf my first. I found that it took a lot longer than the manual said to get results. I googled and there's something about strong hair growth while pregnant and breastfeeding?

[HeadDreamer]

But eventually it did work. I now go for months before needing to zap.

Great. Definitely string hair growth after 3 kids! Need to get rid of beard.
