Can formaldehyde in Victoria's Secret Bra affect breast fed child?

Can formaldehyde in Victoria's Secret Bra affect breast fed child?

I just recently found out about this "Bra Rash" from using Victoria's Secret bras. I've been using them since I was 16 and never had any problems until recently. I have had the rash for over a year now, it will go away for a week or so and then come back. I stopped wearing VS bras about a month or 2 ago, but the rash is still there. My main concern about the whole matter is not so much the rash, but the fact I have been nursing my son while wearing these bras. He has developed Asthma and requires nebulizer treatments now. This on its own wouldn't make me think that it had anything to do with the bras except for the fact that of the 6  people I knew who were pregnant at the same time as I was,  5 of the children also have a similar problem. I've been wondering what would cause so many children to develop asthma like that for s while now. Has anyone else had problems like this?

I also have been using these bras in the four months I have been nursing my daughter. I would also like to know how this will affect her. I havent been able to figure out why she has had thrush almost all four months she has been alive. We cant seem to get rid of it, and when we do, it comes back. I am very clean with her and when I nurse her I am very sanitary about it. I am wondering if the victorias secret bras might have affected this. I have also been treated when she is treated to get rid of the infection but it always comes back within a week. Needless to say, as of this day I am no longer a victoria's secret wearer. This is ridiculous. I just want to know if this could have affected her thrush.
