Will Intake Of Narcotics While Nursing Affect The Baby?
I know someone that snorts narcotics while nursing her newborn baby. She claims she verifies that its ok because she checks it out with this site beforehand. I know that she, in the past, had a dependency problem with opiates, which is what she's doing. So, I can't see where any narcotic is ok while nursing. I'm not saying you said it was ok, but she always whips her phone out to check, supposedly, before she does the drug. I'm just concerned about her baby. She also drinks wine a lot.

Hai... You are 100% right. Its not good. Everything suggests that she has a dependency issue. Its not good especially in a lactating mother. Better to get her to medical attention...along with the baby. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
