Just like alcohol THC only crosses in very small amounts. There isn’t a whole lot of research out about it either which way rn but either way other than exposure to second hand smoke she really isn’t doing any harm. Be thankful she isn’t doing “real” drugs. Most states have legalized marijuana At this point bc of it’s medicinal value. I think it’s time to let go of the anti weed idealization

If you can drink while breastfeeding you can smoke to. Now smoking in the house or while holding baby isnt hood but its 100% safe to enjoy a smoke or drink and then breastfeed. Safe to drive, safe to nurse

There is research that shows mothers who smoke marijuana during pregnancy and whilst breast feeding cause permanent altered responses on their children. People who think it’s okay to smoke marijuana will always say it’s ok and those who don’t will always say it’s not okay. The decision should be based on whether there is a possibility of long term effects on the baby as the baby is unable to stand up for itself. I think that tells you what your responsibilities are.

Maybe have her actually approach her on the subject see how it goes adult to adult maybe she has a real reason that would help some up everything for you either way have everything be civil try not to judge
There are natural canniboids in breast milk… it’s natural, its probably helping her with PPD related issues. None of yo buisness.

There hasn’t been enough research to give you any definite advice. So imo I would not
There’s not much proof that it’s harmful, sooooo little passes through the breast milk it’s not enough to even do anything at all. The benefits of breastmilk highly outweigh the risks of smoking while breastfeeding. Also, tell her to mind her business.

I smoke for medical reasons and literally couldn’t quit when I was pregnant bc i was soo sick. I was taking 3 separate nausea medications with very little relief and lost over 30lbs. My daughter was born at 32weeks (sever preeclampsia nothing to do with weed) my dr.s knew my whole pregnancy and so did the NICU. They still allowed me to breastfeed and gave her my expressed milk when she had her feeding tube in. The amount that is excreted into the milk is less then .5% in the very few study’s done

I wouldn’t say anything…it wont stop them
If she is smoking around the child, that is CPS worthy.
If she is smoking outside, away from baby, I dont know if it is CPS worthy, but she definitely needs to mention it to her babies pediatrician.
We have no idea how it affects developing babies.

However smoking cigarettes around a baby is definitely not safe (2nd hand and 3rd hand smoke) it SIGNIFICANTLY increases the risk of SIDS and other diseases. So it’s possible it could be the same with marijuana, but again not enough research has been done to say for sure

To be fair women round corner smoked weed while preg and after and had local authority’s involved who were fully aware and appernlty the child was not at risk bare in mind it’s against the law but ok people are just some what stupid

In some cases doctors have recommended the cbd or thc qualities for pregnant or brestfeeding mothers to assist with nausea… i can honestly count 5 ppl i know personally at least that this was the case… their children are brilliant and very healthy and excelling in all areas … meeting milestones ahead of the curve and measuring off the charts at infancy … super healthy happy babies … i also know that when a woman who consumes regularly becomes pregnant… it can actually cause a shock to the baby to quit cold turkey… a doctor and family members pressured her into quiting and she lost the baby …

If you had weed you should stop breast feeding for at least to day , after that the milk will still have trace of weed but not very high levels

I would be more concerned with the smoking and driving than I would be with the breastfeeding and smoking, or honestly even the second hand exposure. Why was she smoking at your MiL house? That’s just random, and dangerous if the baby was with her. She couldn’t stay sober for a little while until she got home? For me that would be the issue.

I’ve talked to many women that have not only chosen to smoke but also were prescribed it while pregnant and breastfeeding. It helps both the mother and the baby. I’m a Native American so therefore i know all about all the goods and bads about Marijuana. It’s a PLANT it’s medicine and is alot healthier than any pill or any man made drug that women typically use while pregnant or breastfeeding. No harm to it at all.

I waited until he was about 9 months old then only did it a bit. Now I smoke it everyday and he’s almost 2 and still nurses occasionally. But I didn’t when he was really little and breast milk was his only source of nutrition.
I think if there was actual smoking around the baby would be the issue not the weed. But I live in Oregon, what do I know about weed

My OB told me that he would prefer me to smoke a BAG of marijuana than to smoke a single cigarette. The baby will be fine, he said studies found that it only causes a high birth weight. So, I assume it would be no different once the child is born. However, I would not smoke in the same general area as the baby, due to second hand smoke.

Whatever you do DO NOT call child protective services on her for this. It is a disaster and they put you through hell and make you jump through so many hoops. All the cases are treated the same whether you smoke a little marijuana or smoke crack. I think it’s ultimately her decision what she wants to do with herself

Smoking during my whole pregnancy was all that saved me and my baby girls life…and yes only a small amount of thc is transferred…but I wouldn’t not advise smoking right near the baby…go outside first.
I wouldn’t so much be concerned about her smoking while breastfeeding as she is right, if any gets in the baby it isn’t alot… and I’ve heard non actually goes to the baby as breast milk already has thc in it?(unsure how true that part is) I would be concerned about her smoking with the baby in the same room though

If your mother in law knew how many doctors tell their pregnant patients to either begin or continue to smoke during pregnancy and while breast feeding. The only concern doctors have is not operating machinery and to know where your thc is coming from, since dispensaries have come into popularity the latter of the two is a lesser concern now a days.

I was diagnosed medical marijuana while breast feeding. I smoked halfway through my pregnancy and my doctor knew. My son is 5 now and he is head of his class in reading and math and a bright healthy kid. The baby will be fine. It has lots of medical benefits for adults. If it’s legal in your state to use it recreational or medical I would not even judge this mother and mind your buisness.

It’s actually really common. Around the baby specifically is bad. She should smoke outside, but smoking in general? Nah. Baby is most likely fine.
Tell her about the Facebook group Blunts & Boobs. They’ve got lots of information on this sort of thing. It can help to educate you and your MIL. But for the most part, this isn’t your business.

Answering a question with a question: Would anyone be questioning her motherhood if she was taking a prescription antidepressant (lab created bullshit) for PPD while breastfeeding?
Let me answer that for you: nooooope, they sure as hell would not. Why? Because it is “normalized and socially acceptable” to shove synthetic shit in our systems.
So, let me get this straight. She wants to question how her daughter in law is choosing to medicate. That’s a joke, right?!
If that baby is LOVED, clothed, and fed, y’all have NO right to speak on it.

If she’s smoking while baby is latched , I’d definitly say something , or call someone . But if she smoked beforehand , and after a little bit baby wants the boob , idk . There are so many unanswered questions about it . I’d definitly ask if they have researched it and thought about it . But idk what else you can do .

She shouldn’t be smoking marijuana in the presence of the baby or in the home. That’s disgusting in my opinion. Doing a recreational drug legal or not is a personal choice and she’s making that choice for her baby. If she occasionally smokes while breastfeeding I think that should be fine. She should try to smoke after breastfeeding rather than before and if it’s constant and all day I would say that’s a huge issue but if it’s once or twice a day it shouldn’t effect the baby at all.

She really should say something. Smoking around children is not in their best interest. Smoking while breastfeeding is not safe, thc contaminates breast-milk and will enter the babies system. No amount is safe for your baby. If you can’t even quit smoking while pregnant and breastfeeding why the fuck did you have a baby. If she won’t listen to rain report her to the correct authorities. And no this is not an overreaction, children come before your own selfish wants.

However, this is a touch and go convo because everyone has their own opinion. As a smoker myself, I would have thanked my mother in law for her opinion and kept it moving.

Tripping over nothing about her smoking while breastfeeding. If she smoking w the baby w her then yeah she could bring it up but Not in a rude way . If weed is legal they won’t take the baby away for those people saying they would 
a friends brother tried telling court the baby momma smoked weed (They we’re fighting for custody) and they gave her the kids back because weed is legal .
What would cps do? That’s really all that matters
