I am breastfeeding and im wondering about smoking cirarettes...? |
Well, im breastfeeding my newborn and i was wondering if there was a way that i could smoke cigarettes??? Like if you are going to drink then you have to do it right after you feed then it wont be in the breastmilk by the next feeding... does anybody know if this is true for cigarettes?? nooo i would NEVER smoke around my child! nobody is allowed to, and i make my husband was his hands and brush his teeth everytime he touches the baby, im just asking if i smoke a cigarette directly after a feeding, will that be fine?? This article is from 1999: http://www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/... Do you know how BAD it is too smoke when you also have a child with you. Would you like your child smoking? Of course not, because shes too young. But thats what your doing to her. Second-degree smoking. Don't start because you'll never STOP and no its not "cool" as some people say. Its like a death stick. It shortens your life. The more cigarettes that you smoke, the greater the health risks for you and your baby. If you can't stop smoking, or don't want to stop smoking, it's safer for your baby if you cut down on the number of cigarettes that you smoke. No, that could potentially be very bad. It is safer to just wait until you are done breast feeding for good. That is what I did. When I finished breast feeding for good, then I started smoking again. (The day I found out I was pregnant I said I would not have a cigarette until I was not longer pregnant and no longer breast feeding. After that I wore a sweater regardless to the conditions outside while I smoked and then when I came in the sweater came off. I brushed my teeth, and washed my hands and put up my hair. I wanted the smell of cigarettes kept away from my daughter. Although people say I went to far with that. That is how I felt was best. If you haven't smoked through your pregnancy, try not to do it now. I quit both times and my last son I started up again after he was born (don't yell at me, I never smoke around him or inside) and regret it ever since because it is soooooo freakin' hard to quit again. But, if you insist and there no other way because you're about to find the nearest rope and hang yourself, then wait until after your baby has fed and is napping...take it outside. im not judging you but seriously why do you want to ? i used to smoke for years and i know what it feels like to crave them but yoiu need to really ask yourself why do i really want to smoke they stink, cost lost of money and become the center of your life, plus they are terrible for your health and they do get passed through your breastmilk and into the baby yuck!! if you havnt smoked yet just stop right now it took a year for the cravings to go away for me but they were tolerable just focus on your baby and think about what you could buy in place of that pack of cigs!!! i feel great now i saved sooo much money and smell like a woman again its the best thing i ever did for myself and my kids who told you you can drink that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard no you can't smoke. Why would you even consider it, cigarettes kill you what do you think they'd do to your kid!!!!! Your kid should be a little more important then your desire to smoke or drink. If you wanted to do those things you shouldn't have gotten pregnant! Cigarettes are full of chemicals, and these chemicals go just about everywhere in your body. Including breast milk. And since your baby's systems are still developing and incredibly fragile, the chemicals in cigarettes are a huge NO. Surely having a new born baby is reason enough to want to live your entire life with them? This might seem a bit drastic but smoking is a killer and second hand smoke is a killer too - this means that people (your baby) can get all of the toxins from your smoke from the smell of your breath, your clothes and your skin. Nicotine does not build up in the milk. i was a breastfeeding mother of two kids and i am a X smoker. Drinking is NOT! safe it stays in your body for 24hours that is form an OBGYN. smoking can lead to lack of milk or evedryingng up (it happen to me. MFirstst smokeded and dried up in couplele of months and was malnourisheded and now that quitete my 4month old is doing fine. First of all, the alcohol will be in the breast milk if you drink. Alcohol is stored really well in fat and that is what breast milk mostly is!! Don't do that! Smoking is bad, for you and the baby. Breastfeeding, huh? Think of the carcinogens you are delivering to your little 'precious' one through your breast milk. What did the baby ever do to deserve that? NO, it's not okay to smoke while breastfeeding. It's not okay to smoke AT ALL. Once you smoke, you have to wait 60-90 minutes before you can feed. After you're done feeding, you can smoke again. Smoking and breastfeeding info you'd smoke when you have a child? that is not such a great idea...it can increase the risk of SIDS and asthma. dont start. What a great excuse to quit smoking! Why would you want to start smoking? Trust me, you'll regret it!! Don't do it!!!! Not good...If you must do it 3 to 4 hours prior to breastfeeding. do not Smoke with your baby way your breastfeeding cause what u do your baby is doing DOOOOON'T DO IIIIIIIIITTTT!!!! lol I was a smoker before I got pregnant and quit the minute i suspected i was preggo. Never smoked until i came back to work, my son was 4mo & I smoke maybe 2-3cigs a day. It doesn't hurt unless you smoke more than 10 cigs a day. I pump for my son, so i smoke right after pumping, not just before & i never smoke when i'm home, not inside or outside, only when i'm at work or somewhere else WITHOUT my son. It's fine, it's better to smoke & breastfeed than to smoke & feed formula. no r u an idiot? r u trying to kill ur child... listen no if u smoke ur baby will be addicted to nicotine |
