Stupid question but worried

I took a bath with lavender and valerian epsom salts and only after feeding my baby did I notice it says on the pack not to be used in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Have I harmed him in some way?

I think it’s just advised not to use rather than an absolute must not. Lavender has components which in theory could cause a very small dip in supply with prolonged use.

Valerian isn’t advised but there is very little research and the potential risk is just theoretical.

I’d have a shower, just to wash any traces off and not worry about it again Smile

Thank you so much for replying... I'm feeling a lot better about it. Crazy how those middle of the night worries get so overwhelming so quickly!
