RID lice shampoo contains insecticide that kills lice. As you have used as shampoo so there is very little chance of getting is absorbed in the body. If it gets absorbed in the body then it can adversely affect your baby. But no need to worry as you used it as shampoo. But do not use it further.
Thanks
