... PLEASE! ... Encourage her to study 5~HTP ... The brain chemistry that she's seeking to balance, will be in INSTANTLY w/in her reach, w/out ill~effects upon the child. There are MANY books and online sources, as regards 5~HTP ... But what about baby's well-being right now? Who's looking out for baby? We begin in the now, not w/ anger that accomplishes ZERO, but w/ solution and love ... We set sail at sunset ...

It's not like she's been up for 12 days on meth or noddin' off at the wheel from doin' heroin...... Being a breast feeding mother and doing illegal drugs is not only criminal, it is also incredibly stupid and detrimental to the baby. NO BREAKS should be given. She needs to seek help for her stress not self-medicate.

She has been sober since last July. Who knows why she gave into temptation. But, she said she will never do it again. She really is a great mother. We all do some bad choices, all of us do. I will own up and say I did have a glass of wine and I am also breastfeeding. My daughter is very healthy and happy.

She should hand that baby over to someone who would be a responsible adult. ASAP!!!! What the hll is she thinking? Who gave her the right to damage that poor baby because of her own selfish need to self-destuct? Is this love? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy cow You don't know all the details. You don't know if the baby was even there. It not like she shoved crack in the baby's bottle. I don't quite think this warrants a "you need to hand over your baby to another person because you're a terrible person" The majority of woman when breastfeeding their baby have or are taking legal drugs not recommended for babies, breath dangerous chemicals in our air everyday, eat so many additives that are in the on the counter food and so on. Yes you should watch and avoid anything that can arm your child and be very careful what you put in your body when breastfeeding, but to come out and say that she is damaging the baby is very judgmental without knowing all the facts. The facts are that she is smoking weed and breastfeeding. That's all I need to know. Judgemental, me? On this subject, hll ya. I don't smoke myself and have no problem with those that do. I don't care one way or another. We can't control certain pollutants getting into our bodies, but if there is a choice, why pick a bad one, especially when it affects an innocent that has no choice. That's it for me enough said, I'm done. BTW, can you say that it is definitely NOT damaging baby?

It should be it's own food group like vegetables.

Ya know I'm not condoning someone for what they did or did not do. Sure she should go to the formula if she is going to choose to inhale or digest anything that will be harmfully to the baby.. What is small amounts to us could be lethal to a baby........ Funny how some jump to conclusions but then it is okay if she was out drinking the night before she breast feed. Same thing same results it is harmful to the baby therefore take them off the breast and give them formula...............Simple as that.............

Smoking pot and drinking while breast feeding is bad for the baby, no doubt. She should never have breast fed the baby afterwards. But what is done is done. Nowwwwwwwwwww do you think she will do it again???? That is the kicker. If she continues to smoke dope or drink then she needs to use formula and smoke that stuff OUTSIDE away from the baby.

I don't quite think this warrants a "you need to hand over your baby to another person because you're a terrible person" You provided enough details for me to make my mind up about what's right or what's wrong. This is definitely wrong. What the hlls the difference -- pot, crack, heroine, rat poison, alcohol? Wrong, wrong, wrong. No-one will ever change my mind. I'm not going to get pulled into a debate about something that's so blatently obvioous. Why do you have to be so judgemental? You don't know her situation. Obviously she made a mistake and felt guilty enough to call her friend and confide in her and ask for help. You don't know what she's going thru. So she has a baby and say her baby is being well taken cared for, spending the night with the grandparents or other parent for that matter. She goes out with friends for a night and smokes a lil weed. Did she make a mistake? Yep. Is she still human? Yep. Does that warrant her losing her child and calling her a terrible person. Absolutly not. Like I said, you don't know the whole story. Everyone is just so quick to judge and just hang um without finding out details.

One of the biggest problems with society today is that is no accountability. Knowingly making bad choices despite being aware of potential negative results is how ppl can **** up their lives and the lives of others.

If she eats a Hot dog laden with chemicals, rat feces, hair, acceptable levels of bacterium, nitrates etc.....That too will harm the baby... But alas, Hot dogs are legal!!!!

She said she will never do it again,she shouldn't have done it in the first place.Sure at times it can be stressful being a mother,but there are better ways to handle it.Remember every choice she makes goes toward that baby.

A baby has that right as much as you or anyone else does. And until it can speak for it's self then we as parents should make sure those rights are carried out...... Just because most can sit and smoke pot with no ill side effects who is to say what damage it could do to a baby..............
