Am I a bad mom?

I personally wouldn’t do it, but I think it’s good that you don’t do it around her! Do you have any other ways to manage your anxiety and cramps?

You could try topical magnesium instead

I will say, if you feel like smoking weed negatively impacts your life or relationships in any way then that’s the only reason I would feel bad. I do not smoke weed around my daughter or even when she’s awake or if I’m home alone with her, only when I know she is being taken care of by her dad and It’s my time to relax. I give her my full undivided attention when I’m with her and she is loved. I wash my hands/change clothes before touching her or her things. Never smoke in your house, second hand smoke is real.

I smoked weed for the first few months but opted for the pen instead. I smoke that everyday to help with my anxiety and sometimes I feel bad but I have to remember it’s for me and my son needs me to be okay and that’s what helps me be okay. There is nothing wrong with it and it doesn’t make you a bad mom. Some people like it and others don’t and everyone is going to have an opinion but if your child is clothed, fed, and happy , that’s all that should matter. Being a cannamama does not define you as a mother! You are a mother doing your very best trying to survive life with your child.

Don’t feel bad! You’re fine! People smoke everyday and are perfectly good moms. People are way too judgmental. Do what works for you. What you’re doing sounds fine to me and would sound fine to any reasonable adult

You're not a bad mom! If part of your worry comes from the smoke or her seeing though you could try edibles or tinctures. I personally microdose edibles cause my back hurts majorly and the baby must be held (especially when he's teething and wants cuddles). Studies found that very minor traces get passed on (like 1% or something smaller). So I do 1-3mg so what like .01mg have the possibility of being passed down? Overall my baby seems unaffected and I did a ton of research on it before so I feel pretty comfortable and safe doing what I'm doing. I'd say it's probably only an issue of you were taking insanely large doses at a time maybe. In the end, are you parenting better because you're less anxious? Then I'd say it's worth it!

@Jen I use a cartridge. And I only take a few hits throughout the whole day. Maybe like 3 times. But yes I feel less anxious and more calm with her.

Maybe edibles are safer. Smoke inhalation isn’t good for anyone. I wouldn’t smoke and breastfeed tho.

@Naomi I stopped breastfeeding in February
