I completely stopped when I found out that I was expecting. But my question is, will it have any affect on me breastfeeding?

The BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK, 3rd revised edition, published by La Leche League International, states on page 449, "No evidence exists that the nursing mother's use of tanning beds has any effect on her breastfed baby."
It is important to limit exposure so that burning is avoided. Some mothers have reported getting burnt nipples and breasts when using tanning beds. This is extremely painful so be sure to cover your nipples and breasts and use caution. If any vitamins or medications are suggested to enhance the tanning, be sure to check with your health care provider before taking them.

y do u need to go tanning anyways...u have a baby now who u look pretty for? stop being worried about ur looks and worry about ur baby and its health! Tanning is never healthy for YOU...so it probably wont be healthy for the baby either...is it really THAT important that u look tan in the winter? I dont think so.=]
