What you can do for your baby when you can't quit

by peachynowamum

(September 2006) (rank 228th)

Everyone knows smoking is bad for ur health and evry1 around you especialy ur baby but.... It not always as simple as saying just quit!!!! being a smoker myself I know.

SO I HAVE COME UP WITH A FEW TIPS TO REDUCE THE RISK TO UR CHILD!!!

SMoke outdoors away from your child ( I know this is obvious but some parents don't)
Tell others to do the same
keep some mouth wash and soap in your kitchen and bathroom and alway wash hand and rinse mouth b4 handling baby so that way you dont breathe smoke all over them
wear your hair tied back if it is long (smoke does get caught in your hair)
if at all possible change your shirt b4 picking them up (i have a spare shirt in the laundry that i chuck on when i pick her up then take it off a gain and put on the one i had on b4)
If at all possible it is best to just Quit

I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

Smoking

Great ideas. I'm a smoker my self, and i have always smoked outside and have always washed my hands afterwards, but never thought of the mouth wash. Good idea that one. I have cut back on my smoking too.

If you can't quit

Good advice, I am in the middle of trying to quit, (ahh the mood swings) I brush my teeth after I have one and wash my hands, it's a gross habit that for me has gone on way to long
