smoking weed & breast feeding...

So let me start off by saying that I do not smoke weed. I am not going to smoke weed either. I dos my experimental days back when I was 13 and 14 yrs old. Wayyyyy before I had children might I add.

But I was curious to know if someone was to breastfeed and smoke weed while pregnant does it effect a mother milk or the baby? Does it pass into the milk. Im asking becuz I know a woman that lives near me and she was breastfeeding and smoking weed. She is also pregnant again and um sure she is going to breast feed Thia baby considering she breastfed her first baby till she was almost 18 months.

Yes, it does.  Smoking marijuana while pregnant or breastfeeding is selfish and irresponsible - at best.

Don't get me wrong... I know its wrong but I don't even know these ppl by name or exact apartment or anything. I know the boyfriend has asked me if I knew where to find it and I've seen her smoke it only becuz I know the smell of it. But other than that I know nothing aboit these ppl otherwise I would of been turned them in. I guess that would be y I have never ever heard their daughter speak....

It can decrease motor development. Other than that nothing has really been proved scientifically. It is advised that you stop breastfeeding altogether if you are smoking it. It does show that she has a severe lack of responsibility and in my opinion, if a mother would do that then I would be concerned about other aspects of the child's welfare as she clearly does not put her children's health and well being above her own. I would report it and let professionals look into it. They can then make sure that her children are being looked after properly and warn her of any risks.
