Hi i had a baby 6 weeks ago & started smoking again due to stress. I smoke outside not around my baby & I wear a jacket I take of after to I also wash my hands before any contact. I was wondering if tobacco smoke comes out my pores and is it dangerous for my baby??? Thank you
Hello madam. Yes you have side effects when you smoke and breastfeed.it causes-Lower milk production due to various reasons-Nicotine comes in breastmilk.yes you are feeding. Your baby with nicotine added Milan way you are avoiding smoke inhalation by baby which is Guido stress smoking is not the only option. Try meditation or walk or jog. If you can't avoid smoking then-Cut down smoke to a considerable level-Smoke immediately after you feed the baby so that nicotine content you pass in breastmilk will be less(at least theoretically)DON'T STOP Breastfeeding AS YOU ARE SMOKING.IT IS GOOD TO GIVE FEED INSTEAD OF ARTIFICIAL FEEDS.if you have any more doubts feel free to ask me.
