Is it ok to smoke while breast feeding?
Although it’s bad, she won’t harm the baby. She should smoke after she nurses, though. And never in the house or around the baby. I got this info for you and provided a link to more info: If a mother is actively smoking, THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING recommends: Smoke away from the baby, outdoors, or in a separate room; Smoke right after nursing sessions; Smoke as few cigarettes as possible. The risks to the baby increase if a mother smokes heavily (more than 20 cigarettes a day). Reduction in milk supply, inhibition of the let-down reflex, and physical symptoms in the baby, such as nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, may occur.
