Smoked 2 puffs of a joint

[gingernut45]

Ok so really stupid and I smoked 2 puffs of a joint of cannabis resin. I would normally breastfed. Obviously now I won't.

I don't need judgement just advice. How would this affect my milk. Baby is 12 months old and takes a bottle fine so tonight is the end of the breastfeeding journey.

TBH I would be more worried about the getting drunk. If that's passed out of your system by now then I doubt a couple of puffs will still be lingering on.
If you're worried do you have any frozen breast milk you could use? Pump and ditch today?

I would have thought the alcohol was more of a concern. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll be fine to bf tomorrow.

I was never going to feed today as I was drinking last night and I know once that's gone it's gone. My concern is how long this THC stuff lingers and if that can be passed on. Iv pumped once today and will again before bed. He takes formula no problem so his dad has sorted him today.

I generally give 24 hours for drink, same as for driving really but I just don't know about this stuff and I would be so upset if I thought I could pass it on to him and I'd rather not bf if that's the case. Jus can't find much info on one off use and if that will go in to his system

Op. Seriously, 2 puffs will be trace amounts, in you, there will be none in breast milk after 24 hours.

It’s not poison and there will not be enough to do anything at all if you only had a couple of puffs. You have nothing to worry about.

You won't find info as they wouldn't do medical studies giving bf women a joint! Seriously I wasn't criticising you. I don't smoke. Too many MH issues to think it was a good idea even if it was legal here but two tokes won't be flooding your system with poison that waits to be set free when you bf. You won't have taken much in at all and if you're not feeding until the alcohol is clear then I wouldn't worry.
And I'm a worrier!!

Op I can pretty much guarantee you that this won’t harm your baby at all

The amount of thc in your milk will be so negligible that it won’t make a difference

If baby needs a blood test it won’t flag up and even if it did, they would need to specifically test for cannabis which they obviously wouldn’t.

Drink plenty of water, pump and dump and feed your baby as normal tomorrow

I hope you have enjoyed yourself

You can't have had very much THC (or alcohol) as otherwise you wouldn't have been capable of posting on MN, and (mostly) properly spelled and grammatically correct too!

Don't worry.

Thank you again I needed to hear that there will be no trace. I know I'm being ridiculous but I just can't stop thinking of the worst case scenario.

I obviously really regret smoking, I have terrible anxiety the day after drinking and I'm so annoyed with myself for doing it but it's done and I'm moving on. Trying to anyway.

He shouldn't need fed until tomorrow bedtime so that gives me about 40 hours from the deed.

I'm so ashamed of myself and I don't know why I done it ffs! Aside from my fear and guilt it was a good night and I had a lovely night with friends that was long overdue.

Lol alpa- my friends often laugh at how I can remember most of a night out and make sense on social media - another reason for me to have the fear the next morning when I look back at what shite Iv posted!!

You had a good night apart from the smoking. That's good. Perhaps if you go out next time you could drink a bit less, avoid the anxiety and not end up doing anything you'll regret. They'll it'll just be a bloody good night out. And goodness knows we all need those once in a while!
