I quit smoking cold turkey as soon as I found out I was pregnant, my son is now 3 weeks old & I breastfeed as well as supplement formula. But if I started back smoking will that affect my breastmilk?
I quit also and started right after I had him and every time he goes to the doctor they say he is fine. so I guess it don't.
ссылка here's a great resource that I refer to for all breastfeeding questions.
@akgx3, but again if you're okay to drive you're okay to breastfeed. Definitely don't go get wasted and feed your child that milk. And the alcohol test strips are extremely ineffective.
babies are more affected by cigarettes when formula fed because breastmilk has protections against things formula doesnt
@kmally, drinking does affect breastmilk..thats why they made alcohol test strips to test breastmilk
yea i didnt drink while i was just stating a little has been said to be ok @hellokarly
@akgx3, yes you may have a glass of wine during your pregnancy as long as it is under 8 oz., but it isn't advised because one glass turns to two and so one and so fourth. So it is better to not drink during your pregnancy or while you are breastfeeding until the baby is off the boob.
@hellokarly, as long as you're okay to drive, drinking alcohol does not affect your breastmilk. Smoking can and it would be best to wait.
i wouldnt recommend smoking but thats what research says
it actually doesnt affect it if its not more than five..i wouldnt over do it daily just like you actually CAN have an alcoholic beverage while pregnant but like i said you can over do it..and women also can drink a glass of wine during pregnancy..
I wouldn't the baby's getting all those toxins in the ciggaretts!
@carsonsmommy2016 I'm pretty sure you can't, because if you can't drink while breastfeeding I'm sure you shouldn't be aloud to smoke either(if it be cigs or weed). If you stopped for 9 months I'm sure a few more months waiting till the baby stops breastfeeding will be a breeze for you both.
I would like to know this also. I smoked before I got pregnant too.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
they say nicotine leaves tour system within an hour so just don't smoke an hour prior to feeding him.
