BREASTFEEDING AND SMOKING/VAPING

Continue to breastfeed

• The benefits of breastfeeding still outweigh the negative effects of smoking/vaping
• Nicotine has a cumulative effect in the baby, we can find 3 times more in the baby’s blood that in the mother
• Breast milk protects babies from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke (which are more serious than those of nicotine)

Visit the Health Canada website: valuable-tipssuccessfulbreastfeedingeng.pdf (canada.ca)

Lower your risks

• Decrease the number of cigarettes/vaping per day
• Decrease the level of nicotine by learning more about nicotine patches
• Do not smoke/vape next to or in an enclosed area with baby, air out the rooms
• Protect your hair, change your clothes and wash your hands/face Smoke/vape after breastfeeding and wait 1h30 before breastfeeding again
