No you shouldn't. I'm not a mom but my cousin had a baby and broke out really bad from her grandmother's perfume.

I wouldn't, when my son was a baby I tried putting some on because he was no longer nursing but when I held him he laid his head on me and he started coughing and kind of gagging because the smell was to much for him. Babies can be very sensitive.

Yeah, I'd say no. babies are very sensitive. it can irritate her skin, her nose, and throat.

I wouldn't just to err on the side of caution, maybe if your perfume has a body wash that wouldn't be so harsh but it would still leave a light scent on your skin. I hope this helps.

I just finished breastfeeding. I only sprayed 2 sprays. Right behind my ear and once on my wrist. My baby was fine. I never used scented body washes. I always figured that would be worse then the spray because it's all over your body. I washed with the same soap I used on my baby. (Burts bees, or a 100% organic soap from a local farmers market) I never researched it but I just figured that was the best way to keep the chemicals from getting in his milk.

No you shouldn't use perfume while breast feeding.
