funny thought. I live in Michigan and am on medical cannabis for epilepsy but quit since I'm…

I would do it before. You can also pump and store milk just in case baby gets hungry while you're still feeling it.

I am on keppra and was at 750mg twice a day and now it's 1000mg twice a day

The cannabis should be no problem when it comes to breastfeeding... but idk bout the seizure meds :/

@littlemissrainesmommy I will cry if they tell me no because of the keppra.

@katarama that's what I was gonna do. I'm just scared because of the keppra

I hope you can still breastfeed while taking it!!! definitely ask about it or research. who knows, maybe there is another kind that is known to be safe for breastfeeding!

@littlemissrainesmommy My doctor didn't care about the cannabis at all she just said okay and told me to feed before or after but at the time the amount I was on for my meds was okay but idk now because it's so high

I thought cannabis was safe because it can't get through breast milk... am I just wrong here?

@leyaatheblondieem I think it is but I think they don't want me trying to feed her if I'm buzzed from it which I won't because I know I need to concentrate on feeding her

Did you know your breastmilk has natural contents of cannabis in it? I did a lot of research on cannabis and the effects it can have on baby if smoked while breastfeeding and there isn't any. If anything it'll make baby a little sleepy.

@santistevanmommie I didn't know that! Thank you

You're welcome! It's the same component that makes you want to eat when you smoke and makes your drowsy

@leyaatheblondiee, no one truly knows the effects of cannabis while breastfeeding. it sucks because I'm only concerned about CPS (cannabis is in my opinion safe for a child or anyone in the matter)

@jessicahartze if you are in a legal state and have a card they shouldn't bother you

@santistevanmommie I gained weight when I first started cannabis but it went back down when I could maintain my hunger on it

that's the sad part @courtney017 I'm in a state that thinks cannabis is the devil. just gotta wait until I can move to Colorado.

@jessicahartze it's the only thing that controls my seizures I'm so scared about having one while pregnant but I have 10 more weeks and I can start my meds again. I have a rule of no smoking in the house my boyfriend is also a patient he has had injury to his back and hand so he still smokes but he's gotta go outside (in the bathroom with the window open in the winter time)

i get contact highs when my bf smokes, which helps my eating problem and also the pain in my back. I hope you don't have one either!

wow! A lot of good information in the comments. I do t smoke or use cannabis in any way but have always been curious about this anyway.

@jessicahartze So far so good but have had a few scares with them

Do you have the What to Expect app? If not download it and join the group "ganja mamas" the ladies there are really knowledgeable and so nice. From what I've seen from friends on there it is a personal choice on whether or not to smoke while breastfeeding. The baby can not get High, and not enough THC passes through to make a baby test positive on a drug test or anything. It is such a minuscule amount

But I'm not sure about seizure meds! I'm pretty well versed on anything having to deal with cannabis and pregnancy/breastfeeding but I can't say I know anything about those other types of meds :/ wish I could help!

Honestly you could probably ask a pharmacist about your meds and if you can breastfeed
