Answer

While you can smell the scent, it’s advisable not to let your baby inhale it as it might be harmful to the baby’s body. Everyone has different sensitivities to medication, and generally, the amount that passes from your mother’s body to the baby’s is very small. In terms of daily care, it usually won’t have a significant impact on the baby. Additionally, it’s important to maintain good ventilation at home, and the mother should wash her hands thoroughly after using medication.
