smoking

Just gave birth few days ago but I'm stressed etc cause baby have to be admitted due to his jaundice and I smoked (just for a day, am not addicted to it) before pumping, so is pumping out the milk ok for feeding after I throw the first few mls out? or wait till next day to pump again? (without throwing)?

i was a smoker too, stopped after i found out i was pregnant. pls don’t smoke if u want to breastfeed, unlike alcohol the nicotine doesn’t leave your system as fast, to be safe u should wait about 1 week before letting baby drink the milk, prior to that just pump n dump or use for baths
