Pregnancy Info HOME

I dont think happy mom should be so quick to look down on others. You can never judge a situation competently unless you have been in that situation. Marijuana is a way of life for many of todays youth and when these kids grow into adult parents its hard to change a behavior they have incorporated into their daily life especially if they have been "successful" in all other areas of their life. I know a devoted mother, who ended a 10 year mj habit once she found out she was pregnant. Every one around her however did not quit and she struggles on a daily basis to get support. The father of the baby is an excellent father but an avid marijuana user and the women he fell in love with was also, now that she is not using they fight alot over the subject. I am just concerned that having happy parents who get along can affect the baby's development positively and when they don't get along this can affect the baby negtively.We would benefit from knowing which is more harmful a less than ideal family environment or breastmilk of a mother who occasionally smokes weed. I apologize for not having any facts for the women with the question but I do know doctors say if you smoke cigarettes your baby is still healthier if you breastfeed than if you don't so I imagine the same rule would apply to marijuana considering it is a natural substance found in nature unaltered by man's chemicals the way tobacco is for cigarettes.
