  • Cannabis, THC and Breastfeeding
    Mar 19 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    The use of cannabis has increased over the last 10 years. This is in part due to the decriminalization in various areas of the United States as well as in other countries around the world.

    But what does the research say for pregnancy and breastfeeding? What do major health organizations recommend? What are some guidelines for safer usage? What are the risks to an infant?

    The Infant Risk Center in Amarillo Texas is currently doing studies on Cannabis (as well as many other medications).

  • Depression Medications and Breastfeeding a Newborn
    Jan 18 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Depression medications taken during pregnancy not only go to you, but to your baby as well. Sadly, babies will withdraw from these substances in those early days and may experience a wide range of symptoms. Lets discuss why, and what you can do to help minimize this effect and how to help your baby.
