Any breast feeding smokers out there?

[fatfairy]

Is it better to smoke and BF (obviously not at the same time) or give formula??

but lying to your child is an essential parenting skill....

alright then, deceiving them!

sorry for starting this thread. Catholic upbringing. Everything makes me feel guilty!
I'll keep at it, the BF that is and try and curb those nicotine urges

Do not apologise; non-smokers have no idea what it's like to deal with this

(except for Mears etc)

Assuming I am deceiving them, which I don't think I am, isn't that better than letting them know I smoke?

I'm only joking!

I was hoping you were, I could feel myself starting to get irritated then.

I just typed a big long post then deleted it

Don't co-sleep if you're a smoker though! (Know how easy and common it is to bf in bed and fall asleep over it).

Well I do that as well. God I'm such a bad mum.

Didn't mean to make you feel bad Rickman - sure you're not a bad mum, just a tired one.

I don't really smoke but have/have had the odd one,invariably when drink has been taken.
B/fed two children and,as I have mentioned several times,once b/fed and smoked.

Pure class me.........

You'll all be having flings next!

lol

Do you mean you once had a fag and then that one time you b/fed?

She'll be eating fishfingers next! Oooh the shame!

Blimey, I'm starting to think I might actually enjoy a fling! I've resigned myself to the fact that I will be forever on the shelf though.

There are names for people like you, yer know!

Mercy,did them simultaneously......also had company.

Aaaarghhhh!!!

(Think I was just so fecking fed up of being good and sensible all the bloody time.It wasa some kind of mad post partum statement.)

Why on earth do you feel that?

Feel what???

Ooh I'm getting confused now. Who was that last post for?

Moondog - I had 2/4 fags a day - all timed to feeds of course
