Can tanning effect your milk supply when breastfeeding? |
My SIL recently had a baby and is breastfeeding. She said yesterday that she's started to go to a tanning bed. I was just wondering if this will effect her milk supply at all or am I just a worrier for nothing? lol Hahaha... very funny. I didn't mean she actually takes her baby to the tanning salon with her! "Tanning is completely compatible with breastfeeding and will not alter the milk whatsoever. There is no record of any dangers to the breastfed baby in relation to tanning. Sometimes clients are given Carotene to enhance the tanning - that should be avoided while breastfeeding. Make sure to protect your nipples from burn (for your own comfort more than anything), and keep in mind that ultraviolet exposure ages skin prematurely and increases the risk of cancer." It won't spoil her milk or anything, but the nipples are quite tender during breastfeeding so she may want to protect the actual nipples from the exposure. If they get burnt, it would really hurt her to have the baby feeding off of them. I don't use tanning beds, but I did lay out in the sun when I was breast feeding and the ultra violet rays didn't seem to affect my milk supply!!! nah i did it for a few weeks before a chirmstas party and had no problems :) it sounds like it would for some reason, but nope Haha, @ mars. i didn't breast feed but i was still lactating like crazy even thou I did tan so i don't think so No, it won't affect her breastmilk. it will leave a white spot the shape of a baby's head on your boob! |

I've nursed my son now for 26 months, and I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I'd take a test to be sure. Once you are getting your period you are ovulating, and technically could be pregnant. As was said above, vaginal fluids may not come as easily due to the breastfeeding hormones, so it may take some extra foreplay or stimulation, though in some cases it doesn't really help. A...
