fantasy tan & breast feeding?

[pesme]

hilariously, considering i have brushed my hair about twice since dd was born 4 months ago, i am considering getting one of those spray tan jobs. can't bear to read the guardian 'living is bad for you poison guide'. can anyone let me know if this is a really bad idea if you are breast feeding.

I'd do it without a second thought. In fact, I dimly recall having a St Tropez (teak-effect disaster btw) & happily wore fake tan while breastfeeding. After all, just because it has a colour, doesn't mean it is any more 'chemical' than applying body lotion or makeup.

If you're really concerned stick some breast pads over your nipples whilst being sprayed.

thanks, can't wait to be tanned for the first time in my life, maybe that will distract from the big baby overhang
