How soon can you tan after giving birth?

[Teagan11232015]

Yes, I know tanning is "bad" for you so no I do not need anyone telling me, lecturing me or preaching to me about how it can harm me.

My question is how long should I wait after giving birth to tan?
I use to tan all the time and made me feel pretty and helped my confidence. You ladies know after carrying a child for 9 months it's hard to feel pretty.
I have heard I can go the day after if I was up to it, has anyone heard anything different?

Also, you might need to be careful  if your baby is born by a C-section, because of the scar...

Hmmm that's a good question. I'm gonna breastfeed too, I don't see it being an issue but I'm gonna ask that at my next visit.

That's a great question I am glad you asked. Does it matter if you are breast feeding?

Lol yes good idea! I didn't even think of that, I'll remember to put something over my nipples when I start tanning again :)

Okay, thank you so much. I just wasn't for sure. I did hear to put something over you're nipples bc they are sensitive and they need to get burnt. Lol

I don't see why you couldn't go right after the baby if you're up for it! I myself lovee tanning lol I plan to go after the baby too
