How long?: Amphetamines take 1-2 days to clear out of the body. You may wish to wait a day since you smoked, before resuming breast feeding. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Make a choise: Either breast feed or do meth. The two are not compatible,ever. Baby doesn't need your drug, and no amount of dumping will remove all risks of your habit. I
