Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what the effects of smoking during breastfeeding are on the baby?Doctor's answer:
Smoking during pregnancy can reduce milk production, and nicotine can also enter breast milk through the bloodstream. Smoking during lactation affects the healthy development of infants and young children. Air pollution increases the incidence of pneumonia and bronchitis in infants and young children. Children exposed to smoke have delayed physical development, are more prone to irritability and crying, and infants' poor appetite and abdominal pain are also related to maternal smoking. It also affects the development of the child's brain.
