Ep. 102- Cannabis and Breastfeeding

The Milk Minute- A Lactation Podcast

Correction/Apology:
We have learned since the publication of this episode that use of the term ‘marjiuana’ in this country has its roots in racism and xenophobia. A lot of harm has been done to the Mexican American community and other minority communities with use of this word at the forefront of an ‘anti-drug’ movement meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments. We sincerely thank the listener who emailed in to tell us, and apologize for using the word without understanding. We are sorry for any harm that has caused.
Language is powerful and complicated, and we are always open to changing the way we use words in order to reduce harm. If you hear and episode and think, “that sounds wrong” please don’t hesitate to email us!
Have you ever wondered if it’s safe to smoke cannabis while lactating? Today your fearless cohosts tackle the big one: using cannabis while breastfeeding. In this episode, Heather and Maureen do an overview of what we know to date: risks, benefits, statistics, assumptions, bias, and more! Join them to think critically about the current recommendations put forth form experts and health organizations.
