She's right....tanning while pregnant you'd think is just common sense. Weird. Anyways...my OB said tanning while breastfeeding is fine....but just keep the lotion and tanning stuff off the nipples and areola area

My midwife said aside from the fact that tanning isnt good for you anyway that there is no problem with tanning while breastfeeding. I did it and had no issues at all :)

Yes, it is bad for you and baby. You should absolutely not be in a tanning bed while pregnant.

That's a great question. I wouldn't think it is. Ask your doctor and tell what they say because I want to know as well!
