New mothers who smoke cannabis could pass on chemicals while feeding and damage their baby's brain

New mothers who smoke cannabis and breastfeed could be getting their babies high and affecting their brain development.

A study has revealed the chemical in marijuana which gives smokers a high can stay in women's breast milk for up to six days.

THC, which is the psychoactive part of cannabis, can stick to fat molecules in a woman's milk meaning it passes into the baby during breastfeeding.

And the experts who did the research say it is possible the drug could have an impact on an infant's brain development.

They recommend women quit using marijuana while breastfeeding to make sure their babies are not harmed.
