While feeling a little relieved that I have never smoked so I am not at risk, I did feel upset on behalf of mothers who do smoke and have babies. I used to find it such a godsend in the early hours of the morning when my babies were still breastfeeding three-hourly, to let them sleep next to me. I used to love snuggling up to that little body, although, granted, it wasn't very restful waking up every now and then to check we hadn't smothered him or her! :haha:
The mother/child bond is so important, so having to put your baby in its cold cot can't be right
What do you think?
I disagree....my child was in his own room in his own cot at 4 months old...i bonded perfectly well with him....:hartlik: too many incidents have happened where the child is smothered when the mom or dad have rolled over the child.... :babyroll:
Many mothers smoke but they smoke outside and not near the child....but i agree if you are saying that the mother is smoking in the vicinity of the child...confined spaces are not good......all the more so if both parents are smoking ....
