: yes it does. my ex-friend would breast feed her baby and said to me one time, "he gets really sleepy after i breastfeed him i wonder if its cuz hes getting high" well yeah that could be it!! but she kept doing it anyways. her son is also very developmentally slow.
think about it would you put a joint up to your babys mouth? no, no mother in her right mind would at least. if you think theres even .001% of marijuana going into your baby body and brain, either switch to formula or quit smoking pot.
: I'm sure there are, anything you eat or drink will give off trace amounts in the breast milk and therefore will be in the baby. Its a very irresponsible thing to do. (to put it lightly)
: Yes, i believe it put toxins in your blood stream, and your milk. I THINK(;
i just finished health class, so i dont have my book anymore, but i believe it does.
: Smoking pot while pregnant or breastfeeding can cause learning disabilities and may lead to emotional problems.
: Anything you inhale or ingest into your body goes into your body so yes!
