Is it safe to use marijuana while breastfeeding?


Listen Later

It is possible for the chemicals from marijuana to pass to the baby from the breast milk. The compound THC is stored in fat and is gradually released. This means that the baby could even be exposed after the mother discontinues using marijuana. Nevertheless, there is no specific data to explain the effects of exposure to marijuana through breast milk in babies. Hence it is advisable for a breastfeeding mother to reduce or avoid marijuana to limit potential risk to the baby.
