Risks of smoking marijuana and breastfeeding

- When breast feeding, smoking marijuana can cause low milk production

- Baby will show signs of sedation, weakness and lack of appetite

- High risk of SIDS (cot death)

- One of the biggest marijuana risks are damage to brain cells and genetic material

What are the risks of smoking cigarettes and breast feeding?

- Smoking while breastfeeding can reduce your breast milk supply

- Baby may have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, colic (abdominal cramps) and diarrhea.

- Smoking and breastfeeding can inhibit milk-let down

- Smoking is linked to early weaning

- Iodine deficiency which can cause a thyroid infection

- Smoking and breastfeeding can develop sleeping problems in baby

--------------------

For me, its quite obvious to see that smoking marijuana can cause more permanent damage than smoking just normal cigarettes.

Hope this answered your question.
