Feeling guilty

I used cannabis all my pregnancy 🫣 edible the last trimester and tonic drops the second trimester I felt bad for the first week of breast feeding but tbh you’ll get over it my daughter has a baby friend that was breast fed and honestly my daughter and her daughter are the same with development I just had my second baby and she’s formula fed right now

My daughters pediatrician told me if I wanted to smoke and breast feed they didn't really know if the risks of it were bigger than the benefits breast milk gives anyways. She said to smoke right before you feed baby because then it's the least amount in that milk because it hasn't settled in yet essentially. You could always do both breast feeding and formula, but just remember any way you feed your baby is the best way to feed your baby.

what formula do you use and also is weed legal where you are

It’s completely safe but I will say if ur baby goes to the hospital it will come up in a drug test so if ur somewhere it’s not legal you could have some issues but they can’t do anything abt it really

Have you been to the doctor about the pain in your breasts? If due to engorgement / blocked ducts i found a cold flannel on the affected area helps. Also gently massaging the area from out to the nipple when baby is feeding helps. Would it help if your partner didn’t smoke, or maybe not smoke around you so you avoid the temptation?

Exactly why I formula feed and I don’t feel guilty about it.

Hi everyone I’ve been having severe back pain today and yesterday and I will feel guilty too. If I do, how do you guys balance out smoking?

There is such a minimal amount that would make it into your bm that it really shouldn’t affect him. I would just watch him after his next feeding after you have smoked and just make sure he isn’t acting differently.

But yes the baby will be positive if baby were to have blood screens or anything it would show up on. So definitely check if it’s legal in your state.

I've found ways to deal with the engorgement but he doesn't smoke around me but he'll slip up and offer it to me

I had to stop smoking due to being on probation and being pregnant then they wouldn’t let me use my medical card I breast fed for a couple weeks and bottle fed the rest of the time and me and my daughter have an inseparable bond you can definitely still build a strong bond if you don’t breast feed
