(From a google) it said the only small risk is that it can get into their lungs, so I suppose also depends how much oil fell in and also how much milk would be wasted if you emptied it? X

It's fine. Google is not a reliable source for these things. As long as the clump mixes so it's not a choking hazard. Your milk has fat in it, when it gets cold, you can see those fat clumps. Same thing with coconut oil. Solid when cold, liquid when warm.

Some people use coconut oil in their cooking and smoothies and whatnot so a lil in bm is totally fine. Just heat the milk up to melt the chunk a lil and mix it well so it doesnāt clog up the teat is all.

I may be over thinking, postnatal anxiety is horrible but could babe be allergic to coconut? Has he fed from you after you've used coconut oil before? X

If it's food grade coconut oil, then I dont see a problem. If it's cosmetic, then I prob would dump it.
Also, it probably depends on how old the baby is.
You can usually see coconut oil. It wouldn't mix in so maybe I could just scoop it out and anything that looks oily

I've noticed that the vitamin d drops I use are diluted in coconut oil, so it must be safe for little ones to consume and it doesn't sound like it was enough to alter the taste or anything

Used it for a bath or something like that.

How old is baby?
