Q: Safe While Breastfeeding?

I have 2 cats and since i've been pregnant, my hubby has done at the litter cleaning. Well, he doesn't do it as often as it needs and i'm sick and tired of having to piss and moan to get him to do it! Evil or Very Mad

my question is... After I have brianne, I am going to exclusively breastfeed, should I still avoid cleaning the cat litter while breastfeeding? Confused

I hear you about getting the man to clean the cat box!! It is one of the most frustrating parts of my day.

I used to have a dog that would clean it out for me. Nasty!!!

I think it would be ok. Obviously you would wash your hands really well after doing the nasty chore.

If your cats are strictly indoor and don't have fleas, the chance of them transmitting toxoplasmosis to you is low. Your vet can test them to see if they're a carrier for it if you're worried about that, but you're probably fine. Just make sure to wash your hands well after you handle the litter.

I'm tempted to say no, very very dangerous so you can pass the job over!!!

What- so you've gotta - give birth, learn how to breastfeed, do night feeds and get your boobs out in front of whoever every 4 hours .A.N.D clean up cat stuff
