Tanning beds and breast feeding

Besides the fact that tanning beds are harmful for skin cancer... Is it bad for your milk or for baby ? Really want to go but need to know first.

  • It's not bad for your milk, but it is bad for you.

  • I could send you a picture of my hideous 6 inch scar across my chest from my melanoma excision surgery, having a tan ass is not at all worth it, I promise. I had to shop for wedding dresses based on the neckline covering it up. You need to be around for your LO mama!
  • Just no.

    Dang :/ I'm so sorry too heart that! I have tanned before I just want color because I've been inside alllllll winter.
  • A tan isn't worth the risk. I'm sure you look great just how you are :)

    I won't hate on this. Tanning is very bad for you, yes. But I understand wanting a little color. Especially after being indoors all winter. I'm going to try spray tanning. And I may do one of the quick color beds once before we go to the shore. Go with something that works for you...for life. We have some little ones to love on. Tan skin is hot but being a good mom is so, so much hotter.

    I love this LOOOOVEEE thank you.
  • I found out last year I had a freckle on my eye. Most likely from tanning bed I am lucky that it is not cancerous and I will not go back in a tanning bed anymore

    If you tan too much and get too dark, it will turn your milk chocolate, and that much sugar is bad for baby!!!

    I make chocolate milkshakes ;)

  • I second the spray tan idea...if you get a good one you won't look like Snooki, I promise! I got it done for my friend's wedding a couple years ago, and it was very smooth and realistic. People asked me where I was for the week since I looked like I was actually tan.

    Now, I use the tinted Jergen's natural glow lotion regularly starting in May. It won't make you tan but it will certainly make you NOT pale after winter. It's a good starter to summer, during which of course you should wear plenty of sunscreen :)
