Can thc get in my baby’s system from breast-feeding after smoking

I’m a new mom and I use to smoke every day almost all day before pregnancy and I wanted to start back but not like all the time just sometimes and I was wondering if it would be in his system does it transfer to him and i got told to pump three different times then feed him but that’s a lot of pumping just to use the milk for his bath because I could be feeding him instead. What do i do

Yes nicotine passes into breast milk

@Bethany not nicotine I’m wondering on thc

@Yalaina I don’t wanna stop breastfeeding because he’s doing better off it then formula but i don’t want thc in his system if it don’t get out with the pumps

@Sabrina yes but small amounts only go into the milk

@Bethany so if I was to only smoke a regular sized blunt like a gram do you think after one pump session it will be out my milk because I heard it gets in your fat of the milk to pump till there’s Nth then your able to feed off the next that comes in

I was super concerned about this before I gave up my exclusive pumping journey. All the research I read (what extremely little there is) said that it is like a microdose of a microdose that baby “gets” of weed through you, essentially it’s nothing. I have only ever seen other woman on the internet say that you shouldn’t 😂😅

I was told by my doctor that it was okay. But my therapist said no. So many people have different opinions. I ended up smoking anyways and we were good. Just don’t smoke 24/7 and always always outside! Take it light at first.

Not enough to do anything.

I smoked while breastfeeding and my kids were absolutely fine! I'd be more concerned about alcohol darlin!

I don’t breast feed but my friend did, and she smoked during her pregnancy and with the breast feeding. She told me to pump and dump, and that as long as you’re not smoking a lot right before you feed that one should be enough to get it out. I don’t know for sure though but her kids are now 4 going on 5 and 2 going on 3. Both seem perfectly healthy to me. I think it’s just whatever you feel comfortable doing and what works best for you and your family.

@Bethany girl….. she straight up says thc

@Zipporah like don’t smoke an hour before? Or smoke an hour before? Sorry lol
