Do not do weed: It is a bad idea to be smoking marijuana. You will be exposing your baby to weed, even without breastfeeding and potentially affecting the brain development of the baby adversely . Breastfeeding the baby is a good practice and to that, but do not do weed. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, 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. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Can you or will you: In my state that would bring you into court on a charge of child endangerment, the kid would go to foster care.Smoking anything will increase the kids risk for respiratory illness, crib death and the drug may impair baby's brain development. You will do what you will do, but don't expect us to give you a pass on this. If you want to be a mother, avoid it.
