11 weeks post pardom and breastfeeding and bottle feeding. smoking 3 cigarettes a day. how much damage am i doing :(

Good and bad: The breast milk is doing your baby so much good! She is getting antibodies to protect from infection and special fatty acids that help her brain grow! BUT, your question I believe refers to the damage from cigarette smoke. You are doing lots of damage to yourself AND your baby ( whether your breastfeed or not) by continuing to smoke. You know cutting back then quitting is the right thing to do
