Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
My advice will to be to stop both cigarettes and drinks. If its not possible best is to shift over to formula feeds and segregate the baby as the mother's care might be questionable.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
