Breastfeed while smoking

I'm a smoker but I stopped smoking during the entire pregnancy. Sacrificed for the sake of my baby... but if I were to smoke after birth and I'm planning on breastfeeding, is it possible if I pump 2 / 3 hours before or after smoking. #advicepls

The half life of nicotine is 1.5 hours.. which means there will still be traces of nicotine in your body even after 3 hours. Smoking also greatly reduces the production of milk. You may want to consider not smoking even after birth. You’ve already done it for 9 months! Don’t waste the effort, you can do it!
