How long should I wait to breastfeed after smoking a joint?
I haven’t smoked in a while before giving birth and haven’t smoked since giving birth. I smoked half a joint last night and I’m wondering how long I should wait before breastfeeding again. I’m not looking to continuously smoke tho. Just wondering would it make sense to sort of wait 24 hours. Or 2 days or what?

You can breastfeed whenever you want. I’m breastfeeding my son for almost 3 years and i smoke every day.

I’m not sure but there’s studies out there that say it’s not harmful to the baby. It also depends on how much you have been in taking which sounds like none before last night. Maybe think of it like trying to get clean for a test for a job? Just drink lots of water and don’t eat anything that is super fatty? I hope this helps!

I follow the post I have the same doubts

came to this thread cuz I smoke for anxiety reason and this so helped know that I can still smoke and breastfeed 😭💕
helps a lot🙏🏽
oh wow, did you smoke and breastfeed when they were newborns? I’m just curious and worried

Yes i did, i even smoked in labor so technically since the beginning lol
I’m also a lactation consultant and a birth doula. I work with newborns and moms all the time.

you should not worry so much. Don't stop feeding your baby, isn’t necessary to throw away the milk. When you decide to smoke, just take the precaution of washing your hands well, changing your clothes… but ur milk is fine

Check out bluntblowinmama on YouTube or instagram she gives a lot of advice on safe smoking while breastfeeding/pregnant

Check out Bluntblowinmama like Yosleidy said. you are fine to breastfeed after smoking
