Ok so if it’s legal nothing u can do quit being a noisy person. Every mother shouldnt have to worry about family reporting them… this crap against smoking it’s a natural plant from earth it helps soothe us and helps in many ways that noone knows but the person who chooses to smoke to calm them

She’s right! Does she question pharmaceuticals like she does cannabis? Let the new mom smoke for her mental health and tell granny to have a seat. They used to smoke cigarettes to have smaller babies. 
They had their chance. If it were drugs or even prescribed pills, thats another story. Cannabis is an herb.

It’s okay to drink a beer while breastfeeding. While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend smoking WHILE breastfeeding because asthma is a thing, smoking weed will not harm that baby. Thc has a lot of medicinal uses. Cbd oil is just the extract of thc (they take all the stuff they need and the part that makes you get the munchies or makes you sleepy they leave out)

What’s the science vs stigma of taking thc (edibles, smoking, etc) while breastfeeding?
I need facts.
There I a an age limit for Marijuana for a reason and no matter how a baby gets it in to its system it is illegal and if weed is more important than your baby which is obvious cause ur paying for weed and to cheap to buy formula to keep ur baby safe u shouldn’t have a baby

Hi I’m asking for donations for my Baby Nieces chemo treatments Help Samantha beat Cancer!, organized by Gina Zazueta
If she gave a fuck about HER GRAND DAUGHTER, she would’ve done something about it ASAP! IF YOU SEE SOMEONE DOING WRONG. CORRECT THEM. THAT BABY DON’T DESERVE ALL THAT TOXIC MILK!!! ANYONE WITH COMMON FUCKING SENSE KNOWS THIS!!! 
P.s - you can only go so far with the whole, “well…their business is THEIR BUSINESS” IF THEY ARE FAMILY? HELP THEM GAIN KNOWLEDGE ON THE SITUATION. MAYBE SHE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH BRAINS TO KNOW THAT IT AIN’T OKAY?! IDK I HOPE TO GOD THAT THINGS WORK OUT!
Depending on the state she is in it can be enough to lose the kid. If in a state (No matter what it is a federal crime.) where it is still illegal they can test if it is in the baby’s system, if so they can take the child.
If in a state that has legalized weed it is a judgment call as it is the equivalent of having alcohol in the baby’s system. If child protective services feel that the baby is in a bad situation they will do anything possible for the child.
As for your MIL, it’s a fine line to walk. She has to to make a choice(s) and prepare to deal with the consequences of that choice(s).
A) She could confront them and it goes well and the mom stops or the mom can decide to not let your MIL have access to the child anymore.
B)MIL can notify CPS and the baby could be removed from the parents. MIL could be named temp guardian or not be granted and lose contact. Or parents can know it’s her and decide no to have contact with her for reporting.

Is she actually smoking around the baby? Or is she under the influence around the baby?
I feel there is a difference.
I don’t think anyone should be smoking anything around a baby. Marijuana, cigarettes. Second hand is a legitimate thing.
Aside from that, if that is not occurring, I wouldn’t bring it up. Especially if you live in a state that legalized it. As long as she’s functioning and taking care of her daughter… her daughter isn’t in danger… what are you concerned about?

I personally wouldn’t do it I took edibles for my insomnia till I got pregnant and now that I’m breastfeeding I still don’t take them it does pass to the baby I just don’t know what the harm is 
my mom smoked weed while pregnant and when she breastfed all of us kids lol most of us turned out just fine. When I ask my doctor about it he did say that they think that it it may cause behavioral issues in children but that they weren’t 100% sure.

If she wants to keep smoking and wants to breastfeed tell her just to pump her breast milk till it’s all gone and she’ll have like 3 hours to smoke and it not be in the breast milk but nothing bad is gonna happen unless being allergic to marijuana runs on either side of the family.

Here’s a study I easily found. Just do some research before addressing concerns. Also keep in mind smoking may help her depression/anxiety and whatever other issues she may be having and that it would be more beneficial for her to have better mental health during this time than the still unsure side effects of long term breastfeeding and marijuana use.

The most abundant cannabinoid found in breast milk is called 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). This endocannabinoid also stimulates the same cell receptors that THC does. … CB1 receptors in the brain control these functions. Without these endocannabinoids, babies may develop a disease called “non-organic ability to thrive”.

Actually, it’s no ones business. It’s between the mother and the father of the child. Unless the child is actively, physically being harmed, neglected etc. Let it be. There are so MANY children suffering in neglect and abuse. I don’t agree with it being done in the babies physical presence but that’s about it.

So my friend uses marijuana instead of antidepressants.
She did quit until her baby was 6 months. She couldn’t find anything saying it was unsafe however she found a study that it could cause an increase of sids.
To bring it up to someone who doesn’t think it’s harmful is a whole other issue. I wouldn’t press. If she feels comfortable doing that and breastfeeding that’s on her.
I do hope she doesn’t smoke around baby.
She’s the parent. It’s her business what she does.

It’s not gonna harm the baby either way and it’s no one’s business. Its beneficial through breastmilk. But it IS highly illegal so it’s her choice to mess with it and really stupid IMO to be so forward about it because if CPS ever gets called over it and they test the baby and it tests positive for marijuana they’ll take the baby from her.
It’s her child and if she doesn’t want to quit then she’s not going to. It’s alright for the baby but it’s obviously not legal…
Seriously asking that question? So did she smoke it when she was preg, i gave up smoking when i found out i was preg as i woudnt want to harm my unborn baby, i would feel ashamed smoking with a newborn tbh weed may not be damaging but tabbaco is not good around a baby breastfeeding or not
I’ve breastfed and smoke weed before and there is nothing wrong with it at all… In my experience it actually helped with my milk production and gave me more fuel for the baby… the baby on the other hand was eating normally and more efficiently and was not harmed at all either. He is a thriving 9 year old today

THC is stored under fat cells and passed through breastmilk. There’s no way of knowing how much the baby is receiving and the effects of THC on a developing brain are unknown. Not a good idea.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO EXPOSE A MINOR TO MARAJUANA!! Not to mention immoral. Just because you can not find information on whether it is harmful does not mean you should take that chance. There is no information because no one in their right mind would risk exposing an infant in order to do research.

Marijuana-exposed children are almost twice as likely to display delinquent behavior, such as drug use, by the age of 14. At a much younger age impulsivity and hyperactive, and exhibited behavioral issues, lower IQ scores, and memory problems when compared to children of non-users. I wouldn’t give her permission to smoke around me let alone around a child who can’t say no!

You need to rethink is smoking marijuana that important that you would RISK Your Baby hell no. If you want to continue to smoke do it after you are not exposing the baby and I have seen a burnouts in my life but def not typical it’s about thebaby and that’s what’s important

I do find a problem with this, the mother is an adult and is choosing to smoke a drug and harm her lungs, her choice, fine. Her child is not making this choice. You are destroying your baby’s lungs for your habit. 2nd hand smoke is harmful… period. Very selfish and irresponsible as a parent.

Everything you have goes through your milk so weed tobacco alcohol along with anything else you eat or drink goes straight to baby but obviously she knows the risks so there isnt much you can do. But thats why you cant take certian medications when your breast feeding

What about second hand smoke though. It is not good. It gets into the babies system and gets him/her high. If mom wants to get high it’s fine but maybe not around baby. Yes it’s her baby but that doesn’t mean grandma or anyone concerned should turn a blind eye. My advice would be for grandma to talk to her and if she doesn’t want to listen she can always report it to cps.

It is insane to me that people are saying her baby her business. Agreed she has the right to make her own decisions. But what you are saying makes zero sense. If you witness some beating their child or molesting their child do you mind your own business? While this may not be the same it is definitely not a catch all of mind your own business. Any second hand smoke regardless of what it is shouldn’t be around a baby. It is actually illegal in some states to smoke in your house and car with a child under the age of 18. This is not the Stone Age. I think common sense goes a long way. To each their own but go outside and smoke if you want to. Not around a baby. I suppose all of you agree smoking meth around your baby and breastfeeding is a great idea too.

I havent seen any actual proof that it could harm the baby through the breastmilk, however, nobody should be smoking anything around the baby. Also, I do believe, at least where Im from, CPS wants all tch products in a locked box, and if you smoke in the home it has to be out a window with a fan on and its never to be done around the child.

All I know is if they test that baby and it tests positive for marijuana she can lose her baby and face charges. What she’s doing is technically wrong, but also not wrong, there isn’t enough studies on the effects of marijuana during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it’s still illegal to give to your children and if your baby tests positive for drugs they take it from you so ultimately if it bothers you that much call the proper channels and get the baby put in your custody

Can you smoke weed while breastfeeding?
No, you can’t smoke weed while you’re breastfeeding. That’s because when you smoke or eat marijuana, pot’s main ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC), circulates through your bloodstream and gets into your breast milk.

Best she can say is " please, when u smoke can u bring the baby to me so they r not around it. I will help.in that way" that is it. It has to run its course

I’m a smoker myself but I chose to quit while I was pregnant and nursing. I wasn’t comfortable with it, no matter how minimal the exposure was. Their little brains are developing and I just didn’t want to risk it. I’m not sure about the science behind it, that was just my personal choice. I also don’t smoke around my son now at all. I smoke outside when he’s not at home or in bed for the night. Again, just my personal choice and opinion.

I think they both need to do some research about it and come to their own determinations. Ultimately though, the choice is up to the parents.
If your mother in law is so concerned she can talk to them herself don’t see why she’s dragging you or anyone else into it. I personally don’t smoke inside because my boyfriend gets headaches but a friend of mine has smoked inside for years with both her boys running around and it hasn’t effected them at all other than sometimes the play with the clouds and take real good naps that day
