Smokers & babies

my dad was a really heavy smoker. i have asthma (curiously it left when i got pregnant), but it wasn't at all caused by his smoking (got pneumonia at two months - scarred lungs or somthing like that). dad was a pretty considerate smoker, and my nana is a nurse and never said anything. so i haven't heard anything like that. that said, technology has changed, so mayeb they have found evidence or something...

Yah I never heard that before.....But honestly I doubt it, with all the crap that is in the air at the moment, how can you save your children from all that? As long as your hubby never smokes infront of your babies you should be fine!

But I might be wrong, my partner and I both dont smoke and the only person I know who smokes is my Father and Brother (never infront of me tho).

Ok so I never smoked while I was preggy hubby did tho he alway smoked outside. When Alan was really little Peter had to stay away from him for at least an hour after he had a smoke, and to wear a smoking jacket.(Midwife suggeted it and she told us about how the stuff is on there hands cloths etc) Now he is older it still bother's me if Peter hold him straight away but I am not so strict on the one hour rule.
I myself have been smoking scince I started at work but only when at work and the odd one when we go for walk's. I have to stop not tho cause aI am trying for another bubba.
Anyway my point is do what you can to protect your baby from risks of cot death and thing's, What ever you do don't nag your hubby I have been doing this and it only made things a whole lot worse so now I just don't say anything and he is smoking less go figure.

we are lucky in that neither of us have ever smoked. however all of my sisters do, and a fair amount of mikes family do also. i am very very aware when someone holds ayja or paris - my older sister who stay s with us alot, quit after i had paris, and i was so proud of her, but then she started again. I have noticed that paris doesn't really get as close and cuddly with her anymore, and a few times she has held ayja and ayja has ended up smelling realllllly strongly of smoke. i now ask her to wear something different if she goes out for a smoke while they are staying with us, as you can smell it when they come back inside. I think, hey, if i can smell it so strongly from across the room, just think what my wee girl is inhaling as she snuggles into their shoulders or chest.

Hey Becs. is that Harmony's pixie photo? What a cutie!

i have a stack of pixie photo coupons I must get out for jake. Now i can have them taken and he won't be so young and look really weird, like his first one did. it was truly horrendous.

mmm before i thought they were quite different
but just seeing them in the tickers they both have the same sorta face shape and hairline and eyes lol
