Breastfeeding and Marijuana
What do Researchers Say about Marijuana and Breastfeeding?Marijuana contains an active ingredient called THC. THC is stored in mom's fat tissues for weeks to months after use. Then any additional use causes a “build up” in mom’s body. Concentrated amounts are then passed to children through mom’s breast milk.In fact, children exposed to marijuana through breastfeeding will test positive in drug tests for long periods of time--up to three weeks after exposure!
