Is milk bath photography safe?

There are definitely some things to take into consideration if you want to take milk bath maternity photos, so it’s best to book a session with an experienced photographer who knows how to plan these sessions for the safety of the woman and her baby.

It’s important to use fresh, pasteurized milk as unpasteurized milk can contain bacteria that can be dangerous to a developing fetus. Your photographer will also have to ensure that the milk isn’t hot or spoiled. If you’re lactose intolerant, please don’t try using cows milk. You don’t want to have an allergic reaction. Instead, there are alternatives such as plant-based milks.

Most importantly, be sure to talk in detail with your photography about any allergies or skin sensitivities you may have so they can plan accordingly.

Are milk baths good for you?

Milk is actually used in a lot of skin treatments and beauty products because of its positive effects on the skin. The lactic acid in milk can even help you skin feel smoother. Just be sure to rinse off fully afterward!
