First of all, I am NOT a pot smoker.

Last night I was at a concert where I was exposed to second-hand pot smoke pretty steadily for 2 hours. I did not get a contact high. My breast milk should be OK, right? Just being cautious...

What can I do next?

i read an article in mothering magazine (which can be all sorts of extreme, but has some good stuff too) about a pregnant woman who was so sick that she couldn't eat at all and was losing weight and was afraid she was going to lose her baby - she decided to start smoking a little bit of pot and that solved her sickness problem - apparently has a healthy child- or children - don't remember - i'm not suggesting that you smoke, obviously, but perhaps her (crazy) story can provide some reassurance that a bit of 2ndhand smoke will be ok.

Don't sweat this - too many bigger things to worry about in life. Your milk will be fine, none of the bad stuff will go through in this very limited exposure.

Hi A.,

You most likely will be fine but it eases you any, just pump and dump once.

Do not worry about it. You will be fine and same with the baby. Being cautious is good but do not worry at all.

it should be ok. if anything it would probably make the baby a little more sleepy then usual. i would pump and dump once or twice just to be on the safe side.
