HI if your dosage of caanabis is high, i advise not to give breast feeds.CHILDREN WITH gerd needs to be carefully fed making them sat in your lap in apropped up,position and once after 6 months , it is ideal to give semisolid feeds as a paste to prevent the reflux.continue the antireflux medicines prescribed by your specialist.Hope it answers your query,happy tio help you further
