I'm due to give birth for the first time in a few weeks. The question I wanted to ask is what to do about my parents who both smoke in their own house, once the baby arrives. Obviously we all know smoking is bad, but they are set in their ways and have never been persuaded to give up and I don't see this changing now. My father is actually very ill and immobile, and says it's one of the few pleasures in life he's able to enjoy as he can't leave the house. I grew up in a smoky home with them and hated it, so have tried to minimise my bumps exposure to the cigarette smoke during pregnancy. But what do I do after the birth? I want my parents to have a relationship with my baby, but don't know how to protect them from the smoke. I know they won't smoke directly in front of the baby, but what about if it is sleeping in another room in the house? When my husband and I come home after staying with them, I always have to wash all our clothes immediately. I just don't think it's fair to expose my baby to this. But equally there will be no other way for my dad to meet them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
