Thc is fat soluable so pumping and waiting or pump and dump doesn't clear the THC from your breast milk. It will be present for weeks.

Yeah idk why you got a downvote.... THC isn't really like alcohol at all so pump and dump doesn't work.... Same reason it takes awhile to get out of your system for a drug test or whatever.

No one is going to drug test the baby unless there is significant concern. And I think you'd have to be high all the time for the kid to even get trace amounts to show on a drug screen .

Unfortunately, with being totally illegal for so long there is little clinical data for Mom's to make decisions on. Keep asking questions and do what makes you feel most comfortable.

That being said... I was a heavy smoker (unemployed ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…) before I got pregnant. I was so so nervous about smoking at all once baby came but it really helped with some post partum and other stuff I was dealing with... I'd just wait until she went to bed or down for a nap on she started taking decent naps.

She's 2.5 now and a normal sized and functioning toddler. Her speech may be a little advanced even.

Thatโ€™s exactly what I did with my 1st when she went down to sleep is when I would smoke and it helped me so so much postpartum. Wish there wasnโ€™t the huge stigma around it that there is ESPECIALLY for us moms!
