Smoking weed while breastfeeding….?
My friend had her baby about 1 month ago and she was completely sober throughout all of her pregnancy despite alittle wine here and there. She did before she was pregnant smoke on occasions, as would I with her HENSE BEFORE. Now she has her little 1 month old and she has a breast pump where she saves milk and what not and the other day she smoked with a couple friends and I. I was sorta uneasy with the feeling when she was like “I wanna smoke, its okay I have enough milk saved for 5 days” I’ve tried to look around and see what the side effects are and how long its in your system but I haven’t been able to find any clear answer… Does anyone know???
i didnt not ask so that snotty people could put their two sence in about someone making THEIR own personal decisions. all i wanted to know was if it would really be out of her system in 5 days when her breast milk shes saved runs out. thank you.
There are going to be people who say that she is irresponsible and stupid for smoking pot while breastfeeding, but the truth is it’s really not that harmful.
YES, THC does pass through the breastmilk but it is such a small ammount that the baby would never feel any affects of it or be adversely affected by it in any way shape or form, so as far as safety of her newborn goes, she’s all good in that department.
I’m a young, breastfeeding mother myself and I also smoke pot occasionally. I’ve always been pro-marijuana and even though I did NOT smoke during my pregnancy, I did my research on smoking it while breastfeeding and I feel comfortable doing it.
Like someone else said, smoking pot occasionally and breastfeeding is better than not breastfeeding at all!
