when i got pregnent my sun bed lady told me to stop going on and i doubt your suppost to go on when your still breast feeding it cant be good for you!

It may possibly be perfectly safe, but do you really want to take the risk?

You daughter took a 17 day old baby to a sun bed, is she mad?

I know that in our sunbed shop, the assistant always makes sure every client, including the men, is given a small guest towel to put over the breasts to avoid any permanent damage from the rays. makes sense to me.

it is not ever safe to use a sun bed- the facts and figures re. the number of young people who use them sudenly geting skin cancer proves that.

As far as i know, there have not been enough studies to confirm or deny any risk. I guess it's just one of those things that most people would avoid when they are pregnant or breastfeeding 'just in case'
