Breastfeeding
However you decide to feed your baby, stopping smoking will have multiple health benefits for the whole family. If you are a smoker and feel you are unable to stop, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you shouldn’t breastfeed. Please contact our team for advice.
Covid-19
Pregnant smokers can help to protect themselves from the increased risk of serious health problems linked with Covid-19 by quitting smoking. Smoking damages the immune system, which may give the body less protection against the virus. Pregnant women are classed as a vulnerable group who should follow government advice to reduce the chances of contracting Covid-19.
