A member asked:

Nursing 11 mo. old but i only do hookah every other 3 months. does it affect baby if i wait hrs. to nurse him? how long should i wait to nurse after?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breastfeeding: Safest thing to do is not smoke hookah at all. Don't smoke tobacco or do any other drugs. You should avoid alcohol as well while breastfeeding. It's best to have the safest environment possible while raising a child and lead by example.
