I used about half a gram of cocaine last night at around 4am. how long till i can breast feed my 25 day old baby again? one time thing.

At least 36-48 hrs: To clear from breast milk, 2 days. But for drug testing, most recommend 3 - 5 days to be absolutely sure. I'm so glad you say it's a one time thing. Probably until you are finished raising little kids, Cocaine use needs to become a memory. By then, many parents become anti-drug due to their new pov. For your own emotional stability and the benefits of breastfeeding you are correct to avoid it.
