Re: Nursing cover
And block the ashes? What do you plan on ashing your cigarette on your baby's head.
You are a complete a$$hole.
I don't understand why you cannot wait the 20 - 30 minutes to have a butt. Or leave your baby crying in its crib while you go outside for that precious cig? There is NO NEED to smoke WHILE feeding your child or in the same building for that matter. If you must, I guess just place the baby in a plastic bag and leave a hole big enough for their mouth. That should do the trick.
Nobody is perfect, but that doesn't mean you have to have such blatant disregard for your baby's health.
C'mon now! She can't smoke AND give a BJ AND nurse at the same time, can she? If so, that's some fine-ass multitasking.
My SO smokes (not around me unless we are in the car, except when DD is with us, and not in the house), and I literally try to escape the smell, and smoke anyway I can. We've been on a long road trip, and I literally stopped the car to get out, use the restroom, whatever...to just get away from it. I feel suffocated, and like I can't breathe.
Your child has no choice in the matter, but you subject you LO to it anyway? I'm sure they just love it.
This is the dumbest sh!t I have ever seen on here. An "immunity to smoking"????You're ignorant. I can't believe this is a real post.
Congratulations on being a gifted student, but this post is making you seem otherwise.
And, there are several doctors that will say that one glass of wine during the 2nd or 3rd tri will not be harmful to the baby. But I have NEVER heard/seen/read anything saying that smoking while breastfeeding is okay. Or any study that says that it builds immunity to smoking. Ever.

You're right. Most of us aren't doctors. I dare you to ask your child's doctor about his/her opinion on a flame retardant smoke proof nursing cover. Make sure to mention that you want to smoke while your child is actually latched and nursing. And please be sure to bring all of your "research" to the appointment. I'm sure your doctor would love to be enlightened about the benefits of smoking for infants.
You fill me!!! Z! My BFP Chart
THIS!! Please, I beg you, bring this up at your baby's next pedi appt.
Really??? My parents use to smoke in the house when my brother and I were little. We both have Asthma now and my poor brother was in and out of the hospital most of his childhood because of lung issues. I wish I had a picture to put up of him in his oxygen tent as a small child.
You are an adult, if you want to smoke fine that is your buisness. But making a decision to destroy your child's lungs for them is BS. Feed your baby then go outside and have a cigarette or at least stand in the door so the baby has a chance. By time my parents figured that trick out we were already messed up. There is no way that your baby is permanently attached to your boob, give me a break there is some down time for you to smoke and if there isn't you need to go see your pediatrician as to why your baby is not getting enough to eat requiring 24/7 feedings.
This. If there's nothing wrong with it, ask your pediatrician for cover recommendations. I bet you hesitate to do that BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S WRONG. Stop trying to justify it. And whoever told you about this "building immunity" thing lied to you.
Actually, this study, funded by the CDC and preformed in Denmark states that the occasional glass of wine is not going to harm your baby.

Go ahead and find a study that states smoking around your baby is fine. I'll wait.
Personally, I think both are a bad idea, but at least with the drinking part, I have pretty much the entire medical establishment going against me. Can't say the same for the smoking. And "no one is perfect" is a shiitty excuse for deliberately doing something that will probably harm your child.
OP...you're a stupidass. That is all.
LOL! Please enlighten us and share your evidence of this "proven study."
I shall direct you to here
https://welladjustedbabies.com/smoking-and-breastfeeding/
but I also will add no where does it say you should smoke around your baby at all. What it says is a mom who cannot quit SHOULD breast feed. It does not say it is a good idea to breastfeed and smoke at the same time. Also it says it builds a better immune system to breast feed but a better immune system and smoking over a kid never goes hand in hand.
Smoking is bad period and to me this seems like a cop out. Your f*cking up your own health and who ever else is around you.
The reason they don't make that is because you shouldn't do it.
Also, people still smoke in their homes? I thought people only did that back in the 60s. Go outside like a normal person (and I say this as a former smoker. All "inducing asthma in your baby" aside - who wants their whole house to smell like that?)
I wish I knew you IRL so I could call child protective services on you - this has got to be the most selfish and ridiculous post I've seen on here.
We're still waiting on your sources that show that smoking around a baby builds their immunity to it. You suck as a mother and as a person!
You make me fuckings sick.
Put your child first, forfuckssakes.
Builds immunity to what? Are you aware that it takes 3 hours for nicotine (highly addicting) and all the other terrible chemicals to leave your breast milk and you are not supposed to breastfeed within 3 hours of breastfeeding. Do some research before you expose your baby to something so terrible!

This, also.
wow arent you a god damn idiot! smoking WHILE breast feeding? building immunity?? uh no, thats called LUNG CANCER.
wow
I have an idea, why don't you put a garbage bag around your head while your smoking...?
I quit smoking while I was pregnant and breast fed for 3 weeks..I wanted to smoke again so I quit breastfeeding because the idea of feeding my son nicotine upset me. I smoke outside not in the car, in the basement let alone NEAR him. Be an adult and just wait to fufill your selfish need to smoke until your child is fed and relaxing. I cannot imagine the massive amounts of nicotine your child is drinking up in your BM especially if you smoke so much you can't even wait until hes off your boob.
Being a mother means you sacrifice for your child. You obviously love smoking more than your baby.
All I have to say is WOW! What is wrong with you to think that you know what you are doing and that it is in any way okay to smoke while you baby is breastfeeding. This is not okay and NOTHING you do will cause immunity to smoke. That is the most ignorant thing that I have EVER heard. Your main concern should be your child, and not smoking just because she is always eating. I am sorry but you need to be trying to stop smoking for the safety and health of you and your child, a nursing cover will not help to stop the smoke from reaching her.
Make a pregnancy ticker
Poor Baby.
You say it will build an Immunity? Smoke isn't an illness! That's like saying if You put your baby in hot water it's going to make her fire proof. Double-You Tee EFF!
Oh dear... Maybe I shouldn't have said that because now you're probably going to try and do it.
I feel so bad for your baby.
I understand not being able to quit. Even though I am not a smoker, I know that it is addicting.
with that said, I can't believe how completely callow and selfish you are. Seriously, put your baby's needs above your wants and be a responsible parent. Smoke outside, away from the baby.
You just rest the cigarette in the baby's ear while latching. It's like a cute little ash tray.
If you want to build "smoking immunity" why the need for a cover? And does this immunity prevent them from smoking?
And to the poster that keeps defending her (for what reason I still can't figure out) since you have such a huge problem with drinking but not smoking, what about the potential for burning the baby? That's ok too?
You really shouldn't judge- you gave up breastfeeding so you could take up smoking again! While it's great that you go outside to smoke- unless you shower and change before holding your baby after you smoke he is still breathing in all of those toxins. I think smoking when you have children is incredibly irresponsible no matter how or when you do it. I was a heavy 2 packs a day smoker (for 13 years) until the day I found out I was pregnant. Do I miss it? Sometimes but the health and well being (as well as setting a good example for my child) is way more important that sucking on a cancer stick.
You know what there has been actual research showing? That smoking causes cancer, COPD, asthma, etc. So good on you for not caring about subjecting your child to that! How selfish can a person be?
I think you meant "going for you" but yeah, basically this. I never drank while pregnant and don't even like wine so I'm not being defensive, but you cannot compare the occasional glass of wine during pregnancy with smoking while BFing. Not in the same category at all.
As for the OP, I'm really hoping it's MUD.
You, my darling, are a real peach!
WTF is up with people these days??? You are such a champ for "quitting" for 3 weeks.
