Hi.

In majorty of cases there is absolutely no harm caused to the baby because there is a certain dosage or amount of exposure above which harm can be done. So I would only recommend drinking plenty of water and make sure you report to your doctor for all possible monitoring and checks on growth and development of your child.

Best wishes.
