Brooklynmom:
We honestly don't know much about marijuana and its transfer into milk, except that it does transfer significantly, and could potentially affect your infants mental development.
The animal studies of the use of mj in breastfeed suggests it is hazardous and we see dramatic reductions in neurodevelopment in exposed young offspring who have been breastfed.
So, I'd stick with the Adderall, and see if your physician could suggest something else other than marijuana to help your condition.

- The recommendations the InfantRisk Center provides are not meant to replace medical advice from your physician. The ultimate decision to breastfeed while taking medications should be based on an informed decision including available data, discussions between a mother, her physician, and the infants' pediatrician. The decision to take medications during pregnancy should be based available data and a discussion between a mother and her OB/GYN.
