Do I need to pump and dump?

[SurpriseBub]

I stupidly cleaned our sink with CLR cleaner and despite wearing gloves, there is a red patch on my right hand, so I assume I got some in the glove if something like that happens, should I pump and dump? and if yes, for how many hours?

Umm I have no idea. But I wouldn't think so your milk should be fine

I am confused as to why you would need to? Are you worried the cleaner soaked through your skin, into your bloodstream, and is now in your milk? Or is there something else i'm missing?

In any case, no, i don't think you need to pump and dump. your milk should be fine.

Yes, I was wondering whether it was a problem to have something like that absorbed by the skin and excreted into milk.

Thanks for the replies, ladies. I was sent a link to the kelly mom page too where it states it is most likely fine unless the mother is experiencing a serious reaction/injury/exposure.
