Smoking is a very common phenomenon in daily life. Many people have the habit of smoking. In daily life, most smokers are men. In fact, many women are also smoking now. Many smoking women have been holding back from smoking during pregnancy. After giving birth, they think that they have finally given birth and should be able to smoke now. If breastfeeding women smoke, will it affect the health of the baby? What are the effects of smoking occasionally during breastfeeding on the baby? Smoking during breastfeeding affects baby's lung development Although the nicotine in the smoke directly pollutes the mother's lungs and has no direct effect on breast milk, the mist produced when the mother smokes is very irritating to the baby. This will seriously irritate the baby's respiratory system, infect the baby's lungs, lead to reduced respiratory function, and make the baby more susceptible to colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma and other respiratory diseases in the future. Affects the baby's physical and mental development If breastfeeding mothers smoke frequently, the baby's physical development will be delayed under the smoke, and the baby will be more likely to become irritable and cry. Babies will also suffer from anorexia and abdominal pain more often, which will also increase the baby's chance of allergies. According to surveys, mothers who smoke while breastfeeding are more likely to suffer from sudden infant death syndrome. Causes the baby's resistance to decline The antibodies of breastfeeding babies are all derived from the mother, so if the mother smokes during breastfeeding, it will significantly reduce the baby's own immunity, resulting in a decrease in resistance to disease, making the baby more susceptible to disease or having difficulty recovering from illness. Damage to the baby's nervous system Although smoking by breastfeeding mothers will not directly affect breast milk, if the mother smokes heavily, the nicotine toxin will seep into the breast milk when it reaches a certain amount and then be absorbed by the baby. This will damage the baby's nervous system, affect the development of the brain, and make the baby's future reading and calculation abilities lag behind babies of the same age by 3 to 5 months. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should not smoke, as it not only harms their own health, but also the health of their babies. What is the problem with smoking during breastfeeding? Can you smoke? The harmful substances in smoke will affect breast milk. Also, the environment around the baby should be kept clean, and the baby should not be exposed to secondhand smoke at such a young age. Babies will develop many diseases if they are exposed to bad air, so it is better not to smoke them. If the mother is breastfeeding, it will be harmful to the baby. If she smokes in front of the baby, it will also be harmful to the baby. In addition, dads should not smoke in front of their babies, as this will have a bad effect on both mother and baby. They will be easily affected by secondhand smoke, which is harmful to their health. |
