| If the mother smokes fewer than twenty cigarettes a day, the risks to her baby from the nicotine in her milk are small.
When smoking and breastfeeding more than twenty to thirty cigarettes a day, the risks increase. Smoking and
breastfeeding increases the risk of your baby having nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps, however the risks of not
breastfeeding are greater to the baby than the risks of smoking and breastfeeding. The decision is up to the mother
and I would encourage her to breastfeed. |
