doubling on bass clarinet

I'm a beginning student on the oboe -
my question is, will playing bass clarinet while I'm still at this early
stage on oboe wreck or weaken my oboe embouchure.

There are certainly professionals, like Paul McCandless,
who can go from oboe to bass clarinet and back again.
however, I wonder if these people have such a well established
embouchures on both instruments that it doesn't matter.
I also notice that (in the case of Paul), they double on
any brass instruments or bassoon.

in any case, has anyone found bass clarinet embouchure
(or clarinet embouchure?) hurt or weakened their oboe
embouchure?
