Breastfeeding and marijuana

Do any of you breastfeed? I am going to a place where marijuana is legal over the weekend. I’ll be pumping and dumping until Sunday night. How long do you have to wait until it’s safe for your baby?

I don’t wait. I just pump whenever. Sometimes I pump while smoking. My son has never been affected by it.

Instead of dumping if I need to I’ll pour it and use it for my son’s bath.

@Hannah it can effect Developmentally Later in life…

Save it and use it for nath time. And I would pump at least wait 24/hours

I’m not going to save any. It’s too much of a hassle to bring it home.

@Saz wow, that’s interesting. Out of all the research I’ve done, the research my man has done and the research other moms I’ve talked to have done, it said none of that. There hasn’t been enough studies out there to actually know but hey, you do you.

I smoke and breastfeed and pump. I smoke right after a feeding or pump and then make sure I stay hydrated and eat. After smoking, I wait 4 hours to pump. I haven’t seen any effect on my baby. He’s a super happy and growing perfectly for being a preemie!
