Madre2b:

I can't really help with most of these. Caffeine is the only concern and I doubt much would be absorbed in the skin. Just observe your infant for insomnia or excitement.

This is just a lotion with oils and emulsifiers. Virtually none of it is absorbed through the skin.

Thanks Tom,
Are there any guidelines on the daily amount of caffeine a mother can safely consume?

Madre:

Orally, its probably 2 cups of coffee/day, or about 95-200 mg per cup of coffee. But this totally depends on the age of the infant, the type of coffee/tea drink prepared.

Just watch for excitement and insomnia.
