Does Drinking Alcohol And Smoking Marijuana Cause Side Effects In Nursing Mothers?
Hi, I currently have a two week old newborn and am pumping breast milk for feeding. I would like to unwind at night time and have a couple drinks (no pumping once I have a drink) and smoke some marajuana also. My husband is concerned that the marajuana may stay in the breast milk for longer than 24hours and hes also concerned that alcohol may decrease my milk flow.

Hi I think you should stop taking alcohol and Marijuana as it can affect your breast milk production as well as can have adverse effect on your baby.
