Very dangerous: Smoking meth when you have a child -- and especially when breastfeeding -- is extremely dangerous to both you and the child. Meth causes such unpredictable effects that using this can be regarded as a form of child abuse. Since you are using at least some of the time, do not breastfeed your baby at all. See your physician for help stopping meth.

Time for a choise: Either quit & raise the baby or drop it off at a "safe" location & let it go into foster care. There is no way to avoid dosing baby with your meth.Breast milk is made continuously & remains tainted by any use.Get help/clean up and you could raise baby but as a user you have chosen a path that won't work with being a mother.I'm sure you have mixed feelings,but users use & parents don't
