Patient's question:
Cigarettes contain many toxic substances, these toxic substances enter the blood, and milk is also formed from the blood. When you smoke during breastfeeding, will it affect the milk?Doctor's answer:
Mothers who are breastfeeding often cry, feel depressed, or experience excessive mental stress will produce a toxin in their bodies. This toxin can disrupt the endocrine system, causing the milk ducts to become blocked, which in turn affects milk production and leads to weaning. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers maintain a positive mood during breastfeeding, avoid getting angry, and do not bear excessive mental stress. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid overexertion. Spend some time outdoors in the sunlight to absorb fresh air and relieve stress.
