Smoking while breastfeeding

Don't be afraid of our harsh comments, fear the health problems of your child! We are all fine, but you will face major troubles, not for a year but for several years, only you'll find out about it later, good luck!

I'm sooooo angry!
Author, you've made me furious!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Smokers are simply foolish in general, but during pregnancy and breastfeeding, they are utter blockheads.

Eww. Walking ashtrays.

You're mistaken; nobody here cares about you or your child.

I have a friend who smokes, and when she was breastfeeding, her husband tried her milk. He said it was terribly bitter and felt sorry for the poor child who had to consume THAT. We are what we eat.

Now her child is already a teenager, an allergy sufferer with kidney and liver problems. From smoking? 🤷🤷🤷

I can confidently say yes. If she hadn't smoked, the child might still have been ill, but not as severely.

Do you really love cigarettes more than your own child? Are you willing to take that risk based on forum advice? Condemn them to a life working just to afford medication?

I simply don't understand smokers, both women and men, though of course it's their personal business and their choice! But a pregnant woman or one breastfeeding with a cigarette - that's just the pits! You're an adult, can't you endure a certain period without that rubbish for the sake of your own baby???? What more is there to say...

Why just smoke? You should also drink and take drugs. Breastfeeding builds a child's immunity and is their only protection from the environment, yet you're poisoning them.

I thought two cigarettes a day wouldn't do any harm, just for stress... It used to calm me down. You're absolutely right, and after hearing your words, I don't feel like smoking anymore... I'll try my best to not touch them again...

And I didn't smoke or drink alcohol. My husband is allergic (they diagnosed asthma in childhood, it went away with age). The children inherited all his ailments, I'm sure smoking has nothing to do with it.

What's your confidence based on?

No angry comments, quite the opposite. I'll share. Skype: odinokayalan571. I can help. Call urgently.

I also started smoking after the birth of my child (((( For me, it's like stress relief ((( I can't handle the constant screaming and crying... I go out to the balcony, have a smoke, stand there for about 3 minutes, and somehow it gets easier. But unfortunately, I don't smoke just 2 cigarettes, but quite a lot ((( I haven't noticed any changes in the child's behavior.

Why bother entering a question that doesn't concern you and spreading your poison? 😄 Or are you also smoking Tikhons and pretending to be the perfect mother? 😄

Just hilarious) drink and shoot up, like we're collecting all the extremes?)
I wonder where you lot come from

My mother smoked during pregnancy and I haven't had any health problems for 22 years. I have a child, I smoked before pregnancy but didn't smoke during or after.

My mum smoked before pregnancy from age 20, during (though half as much), and after she breastfed until 1.5 years and smoked as usual. Pregnancy was easy without complications, easy birth, baby completely healthy. I'm 30 now and I only get a cold once every 3 years, and even if I do get ill it's maximum 3 days. Never had any allergies to anything, and generally no health issues)) finished school with just one B grade, finishing my second degree, three children.😉

How are you getting on after all these years?

Goodness, how many bitter women there are in the world!)))
Calm down, author, and cut down on cigarettes to a minimum, for example, to 2-3 cigarettes a day! And smoke right AFTER feeding, so that there are at least 2-3 hours until the next feeding!

Don't talk bollocks

That's exactly why you don't notice any changes. He's probably screaming because you smoke. At the very least, the taste of your milk changes.
A calm mum means a calm baby.
Stop being so nervous and smoking will take a back seat

Oh my goodness. A baby can sleep well or poorly. It's a baby, after all. I smoke iQOS, and during pregnancy, I could even have an occasional vape or a glass of wine. The baby was born healthy and still is; the doctors praise him. They think I follow diets and am a super mum overall. The main thing is not to stress or lose your temper, and then the child will be happy. He eats well and gains weight excellently. So, it's unlikely that smoking and alcohol (in normal doses) have any effect on the child's development, unless you convince yourself otherwise, of course.

Such nonsense, my friend smokes and can sometimes allow herself, nothing is bitter,!!! Don't make things up

You all just love to humiliate people here!!! Everyone's situation is different!!! Don't compare others to yourself!!!

I smoked throughout my entire pregnancy, and even the morning before my C-section, I had a cigarette before the operation—my doctor allowed it, after all. The baby is fine; there were no complaints about him at the maternity hospital. We had check-ups at one month, and everything was good, all normal. I still smoke. But I opted for formula feeding from birth because, among other reasons, I knew I wouldn't quit. Honestly, though, after I smoke, I wash my hands about ten times and brush my teeth before going near the little one. When I can't manage that (like when he's crying and I have to rush to him), I get really angry with myself for smoking and for him having to smell it on me... I'd gladly quit, but I just can't, no matter how hard I've tried.

And you'll be heading for organ failure when you choke on your own bile.
