A member asked:

Can a baby overdose from meth through breastmilk? and does the amount of meth come down from breastmilk hourly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: I strongly recommend that you abstain from any alcohol and drug use while breast feeding. Breast feeding is definitely the best source of nutrition for your baby, but you do not want to put your child at risk through using any substances that would be toxic!
