risky to smoke while nursing?

[letsdoit]

My friend had a baby last august and has been dying to party again, but cant until she is done nursing. I was wondering if anyone knows if it would even be that big of a deal.

Her baby is 8 months now and is eating food too, so I dont see how one or two little hits would be anything to worry about. Thats all she would need since she hasnt been able to do anything for 1 & a half years!

For some reason she is more comfortable drinking than smoking...

Any thoughts??..Thanks

I dont wanna be mean at all but everything your friend consumes/drinks is in her milk. If it's dangerous to smoke ciggarettes while breastfeeding than it stands to reason that smoking pot would be a bad idea too.

p.s. drinking while breast feeding is so very very bad....

I agree, smoking pot, or cigarettes, is not a good thing ... your baby ingests what you ingest ...

Tell her no no no!!! That's really not a good idea EVERYTHING your friend eats, smokes, drinks, etc. Will affect her childs health! Drinking liquor while breastfeeding is so very dangerous. Wow. Its in her milk when she's feeding her baby. It doesn't matter if the baby eats food or not that has nothing to do with the fact that her child is ingesting liquor. Tell her if she wants to party so bad then STOP breastfeeding.

Ok I don't condone alcohol or drugs at all while pregnant or nursing but if your friend wants to have a night off then she can express milk of the day before and store in the fridge, then the day after the night before she can feed baby what she has in the fridge but continue to express all the milk they maybe contaminated and throw it away. As long as she gets rid of all the weird milk then she should be fine:thumbsup:

Well, i know cigs/alcohol/pot are not meant to be comsumed while pregnant/breast feeding, but they're have been tests which show THC doesnt affect the baby, as once the mothers body has used it to get high, its useless, and just a side product. Saying that, id rather not risk it with my child... Or you can look on the bright side... get em into it young lol


Nah, I'd say wait untill shes done feeding

The dean at the School of Nursing , Iowa University says that pregnant women and those nursing babies face no harm(except arrest) when using cannabis. All her studied contradict government "knowledge" and the government has been trying to silence her for years. Her Name is Melanie Drier. She says that mothers who use cannabis during and after pregnancy need not to worry about the well being of child. I am 50 years old and can verify her research. Cannabis does not effect the fetus or new born in any negative way. Dont allow the drugwar hype confuse you. Dont become a parrot for drug war zealots. Checkout her reasearch. Its open, honest and contrary to what you are programed to believe.

Drinking does cause birth defects and harm to the nursing baby. As does tobacco.

thanks for the replies,..but now i am still not sure what to think...
6 out of 7 said not a good idea..but daima sounds like he has actually researched the issue..

TELL HER TO STAY AWAY FROM THE LIQUOR!
it could damage the babys health greatly!
cigs are bad as well, studies show that pot is ok but she shouldnt abuse it while nursing...
