Sober 9 years: If you have been sober and drug free for 9 years, and you plan to stay off drugs, than you can get pregnant and breast feeding would not be a problem. Congratulations on staying off drugs. Keep up the good work, and best wishes to you.

There should be no problem.: The biggest issue with breast-feeding is really stress. The more you worry about it the more it can be a problem. It is most beneficial to have emotional support either from other family members that have breast-fed or joined the la lychee league to help with the breast-feeding experienca

Breast feeding: if you are not currently using meth it is safe to breast feed. I would also stay sober while pregnant. Good Luck and congratulations on your sobriety
