Spray tan when breast feeding?

[rebeccabeeley]

Iv got a spray tan tomorrow on a young girl who is breast feeding her 6 month old son. Would it be ok to spray her breast or would you leave her bra on? Im using Fake Bake darker liquid.

Thanks in advance geeks

I would advise her to leave her bra on, she can take the straps down and tuck them into her bra so she has no lines on her shoulders,
it wouldn't do the baby any harm but it sure wouldn't taste too nice :hug:

She can put barrier cream around her nipples, but she may need to ensure she washes well before she feeds the baby. If she has self adhesive breast pads invert them so they stick on the breast (as opposed to the bra) to prevent tan going near the area, and ensure she has a seam free tan.

She can also use lilli pads or leave her bra on if she dosn't mind the strap lines around the back.

Ditto the above and I always remind them that they can express if they are worried about tan getting on baby.xxx

I did a lady friday who was breast feeding. She used her Lilly Pads to protect herself then we discussed how best to protect her stomach area when feeding to avoid skin to skin contact.

I would advise against using just barrier cream. Breast feeding is called that and not Nipple feeding for a reason.
