New mothers who smoke cannabis and breastfeed could be getting their babies high and affecting their brain development.
A study has revealed the chemical in marijuana which gives smokers a high can stay in women's breast milk for up to six days.
THC, which is the psychoactive part of cannabis, can stick to fat molecules in a woman's milk meaning it passes into the baby during breastfeeding.
And the experts who did the research say it is possible the drug could have an impact on an infant's brain development.
They recommend women quit using marijuana while breastfeeding to make sure their babies are not harmed.

Why any one would breastfeed in this day and age is mind boggling. While formula isn't the best choice it's the best available. When breastfeeding you are passing on to the baby what you eat and that is poisons of every conceivable kind. From growth hormones to antibiotic to dyes and even arsenic. A woman MD from India told me this and it makes complete sense. She said a lot American women are dumb and have been brainwashed into thinking breast feeding was best. She said she doesn't say how truly bad it is for babies much because the pro breast feeding crowd are like Nazis and will target her and come after her.
No kidding
