Can you clean litter box while breastfeeding?

Answer 1

No, cat feces contains stuff that will hurt unborn child. * They say that you sould not do any thing of that nature like the person above said it can harm the baby. They also say you should not clean tubs stuff like that no harsh chemicals of any sort.

Answer 2

Though it depends on the situation, pregnant women should avoid cleaning a litter box. Firstly, the stress being put on their body while cleaning a litter box can be tiring. But most importantly, the strong scents that litter boxes release (clean or not) are very irritable, regardless of the quality of the litter. Cat urine also has a chance of carrying parasites that could potentially harm the growth of a new coming baby. If you are pregnant and have a cat, just make sure to keep the litter box in an area that is ventilated well and where you are least likely to inhale the smell.

Answer 3

Depends on what you mean by "infested". You don't specify how many cats there are, how many litter boxes there are, and how much the pregnant woman is around them. A pregnant woman should never change the litter in a cat box because of the possibility of toxoplasmosis (which can cause serious problems in unborn children and newborns, but isn't generally dangerous to the mother). Simply living in a house with a lot of litter boxes shouldn't be a hazard. The risk comes if the woman is directly exposed to cat feces (e.g while cleaning a litter box). If you're in a house with lots of cats and litter boxes, try confining all the litter boxes to one room, and have the pregnant woman simply avoid that room as much as possible, and she should NEVER change the litter.

Answer 4

Toxoplasmosis. This is a parasitic disease that infects many cats, and it can be transmitted by being exposed to cat feces. If an adult becomes infected, it's pretty minor. If a pregnant woman becomes infected, the baby can suffer deformities or death.

While pregnant, women should not handle the cat litter box, or if she must, she should use latex gloves. And don't adopt any new cats during pregnancy. If she already has cats, then either she's probably already had it and so is immune, or the cats don't carry the disease.

Answer 5

That depends on how well you can multitask and if you are really that desperate to get both things done at one time
