You could still use the flea and tick shampoo and just use rubber gloves then there is no risk. I don't think there is a risk to begin with but it is always better to be safe than sorry. I think the rubber gloves are available at the Dollar Stores or any Walmart-type stores for just a few dollars which is much cheaper than having the dogs groomed or dipped. It might be better to buy something like frontline which is more effective than the shampoos and you will not have to repeat the treatments. They are kind of expensive but after having fleas in our house at one time its is worth it with small children.Is it safe for a breastfeeding mom to wash their dogs in a tick shampoo?
Shower after you wash the dogs. Chances are, if you ingest any, you are going to get sick. The only other way your baby can get any into their system is if it is on you. So, wash the dogs then wash yourself. I would of course, keep the baby away from the dogs until they are dry. As long as they are rinsed well it shouldn't be a problem.
Wear gloves, and wash your skin/arms well, put the clothes in the laundry. Very, very, very little of anything that goes on our skin gets into the bloodstream and then into breastmilk. I'd be more concerned that baby might suck/lick/kiss your hands or something and ingest it.


You can always contact Dr. Jack Newman; google his name for his website. He's a great authority on what you can/can't do when bf and answers emails very quickly.
no leave the dog outside
