I've looked this up in two dependable resources, and both are somewhat inconclusive. If a mother is taking cocaine on a regular basis, should she be allowed/encouraged to breastfeed her infant? I'm wondering about transmissable cocaine levels...how does this affect baby? I know that cocaine in utero can lead to behavioral or developmental delays, but what about consistant exposure to it via breastmilk? My first resource says the effects are unknown, and the second says that chronic users should be discouraged from breastfeeding but otherwise should go ahead and give the milk without pumping/dumping. Any thoughts on this? Thanks! ;>)
