smoking and breastfeeding...

[kendallsmith904]

So I smoked for seven years straight. Cigs and weed. I quit cold turkey for this baby. I'm going on four months and still haven't took one puff. But what about when breast feeding... I am gonna want it so bad. Please no negativity. If you moms have done it and your baby be okay.. Please let me know.. I'm so curious. I know my mom smoked cigs when breastfeeding me... But weed? I was so addicted. And was really looking foward to a couple puffs every now and then when the baby was asleep. And my boyfriend smokes everyday in front of me. Am it is the hardest thing I have EVER had to do. Only reason I'm doing it is cause of this babygirl I my stomach. HELPPPPP

Please be a responsible mom and dont smoke while you breastfeed period or dont breastfeed at all formula will be far more healthier than your milk with weed.. And i am sorry if this is not what you want to here but i hope you do know that you can get your baby taken away from you if you smoke weed while pregnant or breastfeeding because i heard it goes to your babies system. And its harmful to them is like your putting your baby at risk. so be careful if second hand smoke of any kind is harmful to adults imagine how harmful is going to be for your baby drinking milk when you have weed in your system.

This is STRAIGHT from a breast feeding organization website
"THC will show up in the mothers breast milk 8 times more than her blood stream. The baby will excrete thc in their urine for up to 3 weeks, it can also cause lack of latch. Also the long term effects for a child could be slow development in the first year."
My opinion is don't put your baby at risk, you've gotten this far and are doing great! Plus if your child were to get sick and you take her to the pediatrician's office and they check her urine to see what's wrong she could be taken from you. If anything bottle feed.

Smoking cigs lowers your supply of breast milk and the nicotine does goes through your breast milk i took a breast feeding class and that's what she said. I quit when I found out I was pregnant and I figured I might as well not start back up BC I don't want to have to go though quitting again it was easier to quit BC I was pregnant.

Will go into breastmilk. I mean you have to watch what spicy food you eat a d things you drink. Like say you drink a ton of milk okay but if the baby is lactose intolerant you cant have dairy at all while breastfeeding. Also nothing with peanut butter or honey while breastfeeding. While its great for us bad for baby. So if you want to smoke weed just either pump and dump for a day in between after six weeks so you can build up a milk supply. Or just dont.
