Honestly the science really isn’t in on whether it’s bad for the baby or not yet. The truth is that some THC does make it’s way to the breast milk just like alcohol does if you drink while breastfeeding. As a regular pot smoker I’d have to say that it would be worth quitting for a while or maybe using formula for the next couple feedings if you absolutely MUST smoke. It’s a tiny little developing brain and putting chemicals in it that don’t need to be there have got to have an effect on them. Why not err on the side of caution for your children?

Mind your damn business…her body… her baby…thc heals not hurts…ol stupid ass sound like your jealous n kiss your mother inlaws ass…js…
It amazes me how people think that women shouldn’t be parents all because they’re smoking a natural plant. Yet you’re all out here popping pills everyday, drinking ya alcohol, eating ya processed foods and being bitter ass bitches. I smoked with my first pregnancy due to HG, my baby is 3 years old and the SMARTEST child I know, was ahead in all of her milestones. My doctor knew and said it was fine. Y’all need to do your research and take the stick out of your ass before judging someone.
Fun fact: breast milk already has a small amount of thc in it naturally made by the mothers body!

Is she smoking while physically breasfeeding?like baby on boob blunt in hand? If not, if shes just smoking and breastfeeding, its fine. Trace amounts are obsorbed into your breastmilk, wont hurt the baby, and as long as shes not physically next to baby smoking it should be find

These poor babies with selfish parents. Why not try giving baby the healthiest thing you can, rather than only “minimally” damaging them. Grow tf up.

Stay out of it! You whispering ONE word in judgement is going to make you a prime target for drama. The mother is going to do what she wants with or without anyone’s approval.
But on a side note: many countries outside of the US doctors prescribe Marijuana for morning sickness… my OBGYN told me that.

The mother’s body will filter out toxins. Milk is made up of nutrition. If women aren’t eating enough while nursing, those nutrients will be drawn from her body (making her weak, physically). But if they are concerned, they can test the milk.
I am a mother and medicate. The thc will pass through the breast milk and the baby will feel the effects.

Mind your damn business. Shes not smoking crack 
fyi cigarettes and alcohol are more harmful than marijuana…
Not that this helps, but I read a paper that studied how the body processes THC.
Basically, THC gets broken down into two parts when consumed. The psychoactive component (that makes you high) is separated and goes directly to your brain. The other part (non-psychoactive) gets stored into your body fat. This is why you aren’t high but still test positive for THC in your body for weeks after you consume weed.
There is a small percentage passed through breastmilk and there have been studies done to prove that. However, they don’t know if there are any development effects or if it would show up in a blood test on the baby. I would recommend that she try to pump a clean supply of milk and when she wants to smoke give the baby the stored milk. The study I read said that after about 4 hours there is barely any THC passed through the milk.
Not a lot of research has been done on it oh, but it is true that small amount up-to-date she will end up in the breast milk. It is also true that THC normally accumulate in the body. The small amounts the babies get through breast milk is not enough to affect them. Sometimes depending on the child the only thing it’ll either do is make him a little bit more hyper or a little bit more sleepy. If Mom was breastfeeding and smoking a blunt call Martin I can see that there be a problem, but if Mommy goes has a smoke and then washes her hands afterwards, that I don’t really see a problem with it
I dont see that as a bad thing

Definitely passing it to the baby if she’s smoking and breastfeeding at the same time . If she’s not and smoking separately… the baby will be completely fine.
I am having same issue with S-I-L. In no way do i agree that it is not harmful to the baby, but she was claiming that family doctor told her its ok that not enough goes through breast milk to hurt baby in any way. So i asked if i could possibly go to 1 of her appointments with her as i am god mother and would ask the doctor myself cause she does not smoke around baby, the doctor does claim that it is ok and really not harmful to the baby.

I smoked and breastfed all mine and they are fine two of them are in enrichment for math and English. Not sure if it’s attributed to bud but it absolutely helped me make more milk, relax, I used CBD and THC pads for engorging of breasts. Nothing wrong with weed. Stop judging and let her be that baby’s mom. She is not doing anything wrong. My doctor told me to wait thirty minutes after smoking to feed. So if I smoked I pumped and froze. Marijuana is also and expectorant which helped kids avoid illness and also boosts antibodies. Do real research and understand before letting Nixon and a bunch of false propaganda tell you how to raise your kids or in your case how to tell someone else how to raise their kids. #MindYourBusiness #LetHerBeTheMama #Its2020andlegalIn20States #Relax

Y’all need to mind your own damn business 
I used to be q regular smoker, stopped after I found out I was pregnant. I was looking forward to smoking once after I had my baby but just realized that it would end up in my breast milk. I dont know the consequences or effects it has on babies either so for now I’ll wait. I did read q comment about waiting a few hours before breast feeding, not sure if I’m willing to risk it without consulting a specialist though.
I don’t think it’s any of yours or your mother in laws business. I personally wouldn’t do it but it’s for no one to have a say in. Have your opinions of course, but to bring it to her like “you know best” is out of order, especially if it’s her mother in law!

In some states its actually illegal to smoke weed while breastfeeding an infant. My best friend had a CPS case against her for it. So becareful with who sees her and who she tells. Even asking the doctor can put the mother and child at risk but in my opinion its not safe period

Honestly shouldnt be done around baby. smoke outside because its still second hand smoke and its THC not TCH and it has hardly any research done to back weather its safe or not but i would say higher cbd strains are probably safer as thats just a pain releef and anti inflammatory so there is no high its related to tylenol in that sense and can’t be worse than drugs with umpteen zillion different side affects

Cps would take that baby in a second because it is bad. Pot smoke on a developing mind has been proven to be harmful. And it will give the baby learning disability. I’m sure a mom who cares so little about this is also neglecting in other areas. She probably smoke while pregnant and already damaged the babies mind.

Drug abuse??? Its legal in how many states?? Yeah thought so…Now go after the pill poppin moms…But y’all not ready to talk about that huh? But wanna down a little Mary Jane…Please tell me why half of you get your blood pressure up over weed, but smoke ciggs…, or by pass these needle users, these pill poppers. Please KNOW YOUR FACTS ON THE MARY JANE BEFORE SAYING IT CHILD ABUSE…BECAUSE IT…IS…NOT 
Cps will not take the kid…to damn nosy if you ask me. Sorry but CPS makes its clear weed cases they are trying to stop dealing with. It don’t harm the child. And its legal damn near every where. Sounds like to me someone is trying to get her kid take from her for no reason. Talk about the dope heads and pill poppers. Because half of the ones commenting against weed on here probably sits at home looking for there next pain pill to pop 
& that’s facts
THC is fat soluble and she is transferring it to her child. Per the University of Montreal, THC is linked to permanent frontal lobe impairment in users under age 21.
Your mother in law needs to mind her own business.
She needs to sit down and talk to both of them a lot of these parents out here is smoking and drinking weed I think don’t they got sense enough for now every time they eat or drink or smoke the baby will get it and then that baby will have health problems all its life was she going to be one of these parents when they gets grown sit down and smoke weed and drink with her kids
Good god. Just report them to the CPS already so their baby is taken away. 
Mind your business. I got cigarette smoke blown in my face during my entire childhood. And nothing happened to my parents. Nobody said they were bad parents. It’s just because weed is stigmatized. I’m sure the marijuana is greatly helping this woman. And I doubt she’s actually walking around with a joint in one hand and a baby in the other. It’s probably much more innocent than you realize. I’m a mom. I smoke weed. It’s really not a big deal. Walking into the bathroom for a quick hit of weed isn’t anything for anyone to be ashamed of nor should be judged for. Weed is not a drug. It literally just takes the anxiety away and makes you feel good lol. That’s all it’s for. Cigarettes are much more damaging yet they are completely normalized. Anyway- do your own research. There are tons and tons of mom/baby pregnancy/breastfeeding marijuana success stories. Have never found ONE story of someone saying it negatively affected them. Just do your own research. But don’t worry about this at all. Like you’re just wasting your time worrying about this. Nothing bad is gonna happen to that kid unless the mom is blowing smoke in the baby’s face over and over and over lol.

Is she neglecting her child because of it or is she still handling her business? Marijuana is not unsafe and until it starts affecting her ability to be a mother and wife I think your MiL should mind her business. But of course smoking in the same room as the baby is not ok either and she should go outside…
I did the same thing, my daughter is a A student and an athlete. Nothing bad happened here.
Don’t smoke around the baby second hand smoke is very dangerous I suggest another room or outside. As for the breast feeding it is absolutely fine I did it for three years with my son. He is now seven super smart and rarely gets sick…just make sure that you are eating on time and healthy
My grandson was born 3 month premature as my daughter was to tiny to carry full term. He was struggling to eat until my daughter started smoking marijuana. He was a very healthy and active child with no issues after that
You can’t smoke around the baby but the breast milk is fine
Not her business in the least… butt out
Mind your own damn business! Not your kid so you have no say!
Do what you want, argue the health benefits that you want, but you’re still smoking. Cigarettes, weed, if you’re a fire fighter, you’re still inhaling smoke. It’s still not good for you, especially while pregnant. Don’t be selfish, put it on hold until you’re not pregnant.
The people that smoke and do the same say its ok because they do it. I think that kids should not be exposed to drugs. If you need to smoke do it away from the child, stop the breastfeeding and be done with it. If your kid decides to do drugs wait until your kid is old enough. Honestly I know many people who smoke and nope they are not the smartest so don’t come with that bull shit that its actually ok or good for the baby. Specially if its weed your buying from the streets, that drug is treated with chemicals.
I don’t smoke marijuana myself but I fully support it. In MY opinion she shouldn’t be smoking while breastfeeding or smoking around the baby period but everyone parents different. Maybe your mother in law should seek advice from a pediatrician or an OBGYN so that way when she confronts her she is doing so with facts and not making her feel judged.
Is it safe for mothers who use marijuana to breastfeed?
Data are insufficient to say yes or no. Chemicals from marijuana in any form (including edibles, oils, or other concentrates) can be passed from a mother to her infant through breast milk. These chemicals have the potential to affect a variety of neurodevelopmental processes in the infant. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active component of marijuana, is stored in body fat and slowly released over time, meaning an infant could be exposed to an unknown amount and for an extended period of time. In addition, some products, including cannabidiol (CBD) products, may contain other contaminants (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, and fungus) that could be dangerous to a mother and her infant.
