A member asked:
I smoked a small amount of marijuana one time, a couple of days ago. how long should i pump & dump my breast milk to ensure its safe for baby again?

Not necessary: There will be such a small amount of active agent crossing into the milk that it will be undetectable and your baby will not get exposed. Always a good idea to avoid drugs during nursing - and a good time to cease smoking if you have that addiction,.
