breastfeeding
How long would I have to breast feed ? My breast are small will I be able to produce enough milk for my baby? Im 18 weeks when will they grow lol How BAD will it affect my milk if I smoke weed?
Breast size doesn't matter and every body is different. Your milk just might arrive later but you will be able to provide enough for your baby. Unfortunately since weed is such a touchy subject there is not any legitimate studies on how it effects breast feeding. Cigarettes and alcohol are for ssure a bad idea so maybe just steer clear of weed just in case. I worked at a pediatrician office and babies are SO sensitive to what you are putting in your body. They can definitely smell and taste everything in your milk so better safe than sorry :) I'm small chested too my boobs have grown a little but not a ton I'm only 20 weeks so we will see what happens! Best of luck to you
Im not sure about smokin bt wih drinkin you dont have to pump and dump while drinking unless you're pumping for relief. Its like when you drink and the alcohol is in your blood. If you time it and its out of your system (blood) then its out of your milk.
Boob size really doesnt matter with my first one i breast fed, i produced a whole lot of milk that i some times didnt know what to do with. I donated some of it. My breasts did grow a little bit while i was breast feeding, however, weed can lead up to several mental disabilities as birth defects, i had looked it up because a friend was smoking during all of her pregnancys and they all came out with a speech impediment, adhd, anxiety and many more problems. Also milk does not come in during pregnancy i cant remember the proper term for it but its known as pre-milk its a thick clear or clear with a tinge of white or yellow. Milk comes in 24 up to 47 hours after the baby is born and you are in fact breast feeding. Good luck with your baby and I hope this helped. Oh you can still drink and hang out with friends just pump enough for a day then discard all the milk that you pump after having a couple of drinks for 12- 24 hours after those drinks.
Before I got pregnant with my son I was a 34B. A couple days after he was born when my milk came in they shot up to a 36E. I nursed him for two full years and he's healthy as can be, my boobs are back to a reasonable size. Less than 5% of moms actually don't make enough milk - almost everyone can nurse no problem.
I don't know anything about how smoking pot would affect your milk - I'm not a midwife or a pediatrician or a lactation consultant. You should ask someone who knows - these girls don't know either.

Thc gets stored in fat cells and u put fat in ur breastmilk (especially hindmilk) so Idk how thatd effect baby but I cant imagine good... and small breasts can produce just as much as large boobs big boobs just have a lil more storage
If you're not smoking it now, I say why not wait? I've given up weed and booze since the day I found out, and intend to stay that way until I've gotten my peanut onto blended foods (: The homemade kind even (; as much as I may love the lack of adverse affects on me weed has, my baby isn't going to be as tough as I am until later, and it should be his/her choice whether they want that in their body. I even started pure nicotine inhalers so I'm not smoking the tar, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide that's in cigarettes (though I wasn't til this week cuz holy hell these things ain't cheap!)
(I'd quit all of it cold turkey, but I also had to give up my mood stabilizers so my baby doesn't come out with defects and chemical imbalances, so I needed something to keep me level and my blood pressure down :p)

Honestly, I think the biggest issue you might run into is baby refusing to nurse because he/she doesn't like the taste. Not saying there couldn't be other complications, but I think they're all less likely to arise. As far as actually answering your question: I've never heard if it affecting anyone's supply. It didn't my mother's...
Yes u will be able to produce enough milk regardless of boob size. I'm 2 days over due and my milk hasn't come in yet. only 17 percent of women bf for up to a year. I know several people who r or have smoked while breast feeding, I believe it's not a big deal, and their children r just fine. I enjoy smoking, and yes I will start smoking again shortly after my baby is here and will be breast feeding.
They drug test baby's when there born.. Wouldn't want your child taken from u? Would u? Quit smoking until after the baby is born.
Yea I figured that it will effect the baby's system . Im going to breast feed I rather have CLEAN and healthy milk to do so while I do it. Im patient lol I can wait !
I have small boobs and I was able to. Size doesn't have to do with milk supply. Drink lots of water and eat well. My boobs NEVER got big either! :( whatever you put in your body will be in your milk. Do your research and ask your Dr. I personally don't agree with it but I'm not a Dr or nutritionist.
You should be able to produce plenty for your baby, they will grow when they're ready, everyone's body is different :)
I don't know about weed affecting your actual supply but it will go through your milk and into the baby's system which could cause complications for baby, just something to think about. Maybe talk to your Dr. Not trying to be rude or negative, just don't want anything to happen to your baby and your baby deserves the best :)

Your milk may come in before of after labor but boob size definitely doesn't matter and the weed I'm not sure I would Google that but its probably not healthy
You choose how long you want to bf for.
Boob size has nothing to do with you producing milk.
They may not grow at all.
You definitely shouldn't be smoking.....
