My mother smoked cigarettes and consumed a lot of Caffeine while she was pregnant with me. I was also always bottle fed, never breast fed. I'm wondering what birth defects (if any) could have been caused by those three factors?

I think you are looking for a place to blame your health problems on, what your mother did is not to blame at all. skin problems run in families, or can be environmental factors. eyesight is the same, but other eye problems can just happen.

Eye and skin problems seem more like a recent problem. Please see a doctor.

OP here. Thank you all for your answers. Yes, I'm asking this because I do have some problems but I am not sure if they could possibly have anything to do with this. I'm 18. I have eye problems and skin problems. I have also heard that bottle fed was unhealthier than being breast fed so I was just wondering.

oldbag agony auntHi

Do you have any birth defects ?

I am sure by 18-21 they would be known to you.

Curious why you felt the need to ask. You can't generalise and websites can only give advice on risks, every baby is different. Your GP with your medical notes is the one to talk to

PS. I think they would have banned bottle feeding worlwide if it harmed a baby in any way.

Aunty BimBim agony auntWhile I agree when it comes to feeding babies breast is best, there are times where it just isn't going to happen, and babies are fed by bottle instead. I have three children, one was breast fed for a few weeks only, and then bottle, he had bad excema (inherited) so was on a diet of goat and soy milk. One was part breast and part bottle, absolutely no problems whatsoever, and one totally breast fed, again no problems.

As for smoking and drinking caffeine, again, we all should know by now smoking is detrimental to health, pregnant or not, and should not be indulged in, for information regarding the effect on unborn children there are numerous websites available with data, likewise for caffiene. The people who answer questions here may be, but probably are not, qualified in these fields. I suggest you google for some reputable answers from qualified people for answers to your questions.
