The nicotine in a nursing mother's milk can affect nursing babies in several ways:
1. It can make bones weak, increasing the risk of skeletal abnormalities and bone diseases in babies.
2. It can cause vomiting and diarrhea, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort and potential dehydration in infants.
3. It can cause low birth weight, as nicotine can affect fetal development and contribute to a baby being born smaller than average.
4. It can make babies hungry, as nicotine can act as an appetite suppressant in infants, which can lead to poor feeding and inadequate weight gain.
