I am still nursing & was wondering if it is OK to tan while breastfeeding my one yr. Old? What about the tan lotions is it harmful for baby?
For baby yes. No study has shown tanning beds, outdoor tans or spray tans affect breastfeeding safety. However, tanning is high risk to YOU! It is on the same scale as smoking for cancer risks. Consider spray or lotion tans to avoid the risks so you can be around for your child for many years!
