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?
@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.
@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.
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..
@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.
