Organizational Statements on Cannabis and Perinatal Period
- Lactmed (National Institutes of Health) "Because breastfeeding can mitigate some of the effects of smoking and little evidence of serious infant harm has been seen, it appears preferable to encourage mothers who use cannabis to continue breastfeeding and reducing or abstaining from cannabis use while minimizing infant exposure to the smoke."
- Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine "At this time, although the data are not strong enough to recommend not breastfeeding with any marijuana use, we urge caution."
- American Academy of Pediatrics - The Transfer of Drugs and Therapeutics Into Human Breast Milk: An Update on Selected Topics"Therefore, with the exception of radioactive compounds requiring temporary cessation of breastfeeding, the reader will be referred to LactMed to obtain the most current data on an individual medication." See above for LactMed recommendation.
