Does tanning affect breastmilk?

Answer by  aletaaa (47)

Tanning effects hydration which could effect milk production. When breastfeeding take in as much fluid as you are putting out in urine, breastmilk and sweating. If you are tanning then you would lose fluid from the drying effects of the sun causing you to have to drink more fluid.

Not that I've ever heard. I suppose in theory it would increase your vitamin D - but I'd recommend care in the sun regardless of if you're breastfeeding.
