A member asked:
Is it ok to tan while breastfeeding? i know it isn't safe for you regardless, but would it affect your milk or baby?

Yes: Natural sunlight would not pose any risks; would not use any topical tanning /bronzing agents.

Tanning Ok: Tanning won't affect your breast milk at all. You just need to remember that you probably need to drink extra for the water loss. You already stated that tanning is not good for you, do not forget the sun screen!
