Should I?

I’m heavily considering taking up smoking weed again I’ve been sober for almost 10 1/2 months now and I stopped to keep the peace for my mental sake my parents and fiancé were heavily against the idea and I just didn’t want to be judged. I’m aware that if I smoke while feeding it’ll show in his bloodstream and I’m just too paranoid to even risk the chance with his pediatrician considering he’s so young. (6 weeks) I feel like I should wait but I also feel like it would help me control my frustration. I don’t want to seem like a fiend ya know at least in the eyes of others. I don’t care how they perceive me I just don’t want to hear about it ya know? I don’t produce much milk but I try to feed him where I can like before putting him down or in the middle of the night. I wish to produce more and have exhausted my efforts so I’m leaning towards strictly formula I just don’t think part of me is ready to give up trying to have that over supply. Idk yall lmk. I never wanted him to take to breast milk for more than 6-8 months just because of introducing solids to his diet.

Make oatmeal drinks ! To make produce milk and pump it out and save them in freezer then u stop breast feeding them u can smoke and just unfreeze the milk and give it to him in a bottle

I majorly struggled with my supply I did everything!!! Taken everything they said and pumped every 4 hours etc and had to top up with formula as she was losing weight... And I was so down and pissed off but then I thought... Let's bottle feed she is fed and happy... And she can use me like a dummy to go to sleep etc so I'm comfort blanket and she was very happy with that and the pressure was completely off me and I enjoyed the bond more and knowing she had the best of both world, take the pressure off and give baba best of both worlds... Full belly and boobie love ♥️

You can start smoking preroll because you will get super stoned when you first start but you should start smoking preroll first only taking a few small puffs so you can relax . You will thank yourself

@Jen that’s really how I feel but I saw a lactation consultant through my OB and I feel much more confident knowing that they gave me the wrong flange size which largely impacts how much milk I’m producing she said it was like running a marathon in clown shoes. If I can pull through then I’ll hold off on the smoking but if not and nothing changed then I’ll take a pre roll I’ve gotta see my psychiatrist about my anxiety and frustration anyways so I’ll go that route in the meantime

Yeah I had a lactation consultant too, I tried alsorts even different flange sizes and that and honestly for me nothing worked... My LC even put me on medication to try and increase but didn't, as I've said I came to terms with it and still had the closeness by her getting some of the milk from me but 99% from formula and I was happy with that to a certain extent, but I really really hope it works for you. But remember stay hydrated as you need to drink plenty to produce plenty! And also what you pump doesn't correspond what your supply is... As baby is capable of getting more from breast themselves then you can pump if they have the correct latch. Really hoping and praying for you hun

@Jen thank you it really helps to talk to someone who gets it ya know

Yeah definitely hun, my dm is totally open if you need to talk 😊

@Britney unnecessary comment

@Jen how is it acceptable tho? 💀

@Jen just don’t understand why you’d be thinking about smoking weed you’ve got a baby to tend to🤔

Fed is best. If you want to switch to formula that is completely okay. Your mental health is important!

@Britney well I’ll be honest I was too tired to even think about smoking postpartum plus I was nursing BUT I don’t think a joint will make her unable to function and tend to her baby and she said she was considering switching to formula because of low supply.

@Britney don’t gotta matter to u! You smoking doesn’t define u as a mother. You can tend to ur baby while doing it. If you don’t do it good for you leave her alone with ur unnecessary ass comment.

Does it show up in his bloodstream tho? I know that u can’t be drinking and breastfeeding at the same time and it doesn’t go into the milk that fast unsure about mj. I vape so no one but my mom and hubby know I go to the outside bathroom and vape but I got a smoke buddy to exhale it. Also I use scented oil and water in a spray bottle. Makes the best air freshener I’ve noticed for the smell since most of the time the vape doesn’t smell so I just don’t use the smoke buddy and just exhale into the air. Vapes are more discreet for hiding it

@Britney the group is called 420 moms 🤨 don’t be intentionally obtuse smoking weed doesn’t impair you nearly as much as getting drunk and if my child is fed and well taken care of I see no issue with smoking a piece to give myself some peace of mind. Especially if I have overbearing anxiety and frustration I don’t want putting out on others. My kids come first and I always make sure they are safe and well taken care of but I don’t want to neglect myself and my mental health.

@Kelly Cote so weed has the active ingredient THC that circulates into your blood stream and gets into your breast milk due to the THC being stored in fat cells and breast milk is made from your blood and fat cells so yes it can pass through to your baby I’m not sure about nic

Check out @bluntblowinmama https://www.instagram.com/bluntblowinmama?igsh=bWFjMjJsNzlkNHFo I took a hit while pregnant and WOW I felt the most connected to my breath and sent it to my womb heavier than ever before! I even had some laughs that I haven’t had in a while
