Smoking and breastfeeding
I have a 4 month old and started using a one-hitter (if you don’t know what it is is just a small amount of weed for couple of hits) since she was 2m old and I’m ebf and I was wondering who has had babies completely healthy while smoking and bf my husband is telling me that he is not sure if I should be doing it and now I’m getting guilt about it does it affect the babies? I literally do this once a day and maybe other days I take one hit of a thc pen, is it transferring to my baby?

i’d say don’t guilt trip yourself! i’ve talked to some moms in my personal life and their babies are fine. the most i’ve heard is it could lower your milk supply. ofc there could be some risk, but it’s up to you to take the chance.
i think it would be different if you were smoking a whole joint or blunt then feeding, but personally i wouldn’t be super concerned from a one hitter or a puff from a pen ONCE a day.
i also plan on doing this after my baby comes in a few weeks. i think it’s all about moderation.
thanks 🫶🏻 definitely makes me feel better, I also think the amount I’m taking is nothing crazy for once a day and I literally take it in the middle of the day to be able to be available to hear and be there for my baby all night, and awww so sweet when are you due? What are you having?
exactly! don’t beat yourself up. if baby starts showing signs of issues then that would be a different situation, but i doubt that’ll happen. i’m due the 23rd of this month and it’s a boy 😊
how much do you smoke during the day? And how often😊
how old is your baby now
thank you🫶🏻 you smoke everyday too?
Thx y’all I’ll show my husband these comments so he sees I’m not the only one
what are you doing here to just shame?
looks like you definitely don’t know anything about it, whenever I smoke personally I have my baby in another room just fed and napping, I change my clothes after, wash my hands and brush my teeth before going to my baby, and many studies have shown the amount that “passes” to the baby is extremely small like 0,04% and mostly CBD that’s why most babies are perfectly normal and get all their milestones just on time, smoking is not selfish, for many of us is stress and anxiety relieving and helps us being more present for our babies which makes both of us happier 😌 I just made the post cause I needed a little bit of reassurance which I got, for people like you is that we have this group where we don’t judge, just let everyone do what’s better for them and their families, nobody here smokes to harm their child.
