Question 1

how long is thc in breast milk? itested negative for thc in a urine test is it possible i don't have thc in my breast milk?

Accepted Answer

The issue is that it: can stay in your infant for 4-6 weeks. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that moms &amp; dads abstain from smoking marijuana. The infant both inhales 2nd-hand smoke &amp; gets it thru breast milk. Long-term studies can't be done before legalization. Some studies show sedation, delayed motor development, increased risk of SIDS if either parent smokes, &amp; impaired ability to caretake the infant.

Question 2

what should i do if i have thc in my breast milk? i want to continue feeding my almost 3 month old but horribly regret my decision of smoking

Accepted Answer

Pump and dump: If anyone believes that their breast milk has been tainted by a substance/drug/alcohol, the best advice is to pump the milk and throw it out.  This will allow continued production of milk.  If no more smoking occurs and this was a one-time mistake, it should clear the body in 24 hours.  Good luck on staying clean for you and your baby!

Question 7

is breast milk for adults healthy?

Accepted Answer

NO IT IS NOT: No it is not healthy for adults as it is high in chlesterol and it is high in cholesterol as babies benefit from high cholesterol levels, thats why synthetic infant formulas are beginning to include fatty acids as well.But what is good for the babies is not good for adults.Secondly breast milk also is high in sugar which is lactose.

Question 8

is formula as nutritious as breast milk?

Accepted Answer

No: Formula is a close second to breast milk. There are many nutrients in breast milk that can not be "copied" and each mom's breast milk is ideally suited for her baby. Approved infant formulas do contain all the known nutrients that a baby needs to grow and stay healthy and should be used for the first year when breast milk can not be used.

Question 9

why would i  not be producing enough breast milk?

Accepted Answer

Common problem: This is a surprisingly common problem and has many possible causes, ranging from the effects of common environmental toxins to stress to scar tissue from surgery to suboptimal nursing techniques. Please consult a lactation consultant (at local hospitals/birth centers). Herbs can increase milk production, as can some meds- see www.Breastfeeding-problems.Com/herbs-and-breastfeeding.Html & comments:.
