Hey other moms out there. I just smoked for the first time after giving birth. My son is 2mo old now and I have been a pumping exclusively since having him. Recently my supply dropped completely, so I had to resort to formula for a few days, I was able to get my supply back a little, but pretty much I was an under supplier. So I felt like I should give up and let myself go and smoked. I got extremely high and now I feel guilty because I don’t feel like I can care for him well, when I feel like this. Any advice on how to manage the guilt I feel?

After u smoke pump and toss , people smoke cigarettes and pump and toss same for alcohol. Don't feel guilty. Your doing great. Its change and your starting to learn how it is giving your time to a baby
You can absolutely care for him. Do not be ashamed to let go a little! Your son will be fine, you’re not letting anybody down, when I first started trying to breastfeed my supply was never enough like ever, I had to switch to formula as it was, your baby will live as will you.
Everything is okay❤️
Also stay on your prenatal pills and drink at least 4 bottles of water maybe more
Grapefruit juice and prenatal help me keep my supply
My supply took a big hit smoking again, I always try to aim smoking for his bedtime. That helped with my mom guilt. Also drink sooooo much water. My supply took a big hit because I wasn’t properly hydrated. The guilt will ease and don’t smoke too much if you’re not comfortable being too high. Only you know how much is too much
