While the article [Effects of Marijuana on the Fetus and Breastfeeding Infants by Thomas Hale, et al, Infant Risk Center; cites a number of studies regarding
cannabis use during pregnancy, it cites only two on cannabis use during lactation: one conducted with 27 women, and another with 16 women.»
The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against the
use of marijuana
during pregnancy and while breastfeeding: «Street drugs such as PCP (phencyclidine), cocaine, and
cannabis can be detected in human milk, and their
use by breastfeeding mothers is of concern, particularly with regard to the infant's long - term neurobehavioral development and thus are contraindicated.»
