Breastfeeding can be an isolating experience. If you're not comfortable nursing in public, it means spending a lot of time inside, which, if it is Summer, can feel like a drag. That's where the beauty of spray tans [1] comes in. Get all of the physical beauty of a day in the sun with none of the harmful UVA/UVB rays. So we understand what this mom was trying to accomplish when she sought out a spray tan before nursing her tot. But we're pretty sure she didn't expect these results:

Ooomf! Reddit user LondonDave [3] uploaded the image to Imgur [4] reminding moms everywhere, "Protip: don't breastfeed after a spraytan." With World Breastfeeding Week starting next week, let this serve as a reminder for all of you nursing moms out there. Let your spray tan completely dry (maybe even consider showering) before letting your baby feed. And don't worry, according to KellyMom [5], spray tans and self-tanning formulas are topical and shouldn't be harmful to babies (though she does recommend washing the products from your breasts before nursing).
