I am 19yrs old with a 4 month old baby girl.
I dont do drugs, but one night i had a line of crystal meth, very silly decision, and then had to breastfeed my daughter an hour and a half later..
This was worst decision ever! i would never ever do drugs again but am really worried and would like to know if this could have seriously effected her and are there any long term effects from just this one time?
I know that it would have passed through my breastmilk but would just like to know if she will be ok from just that one time?
thanks

To be honest...I don't know....I know I am not very helpful in this partcular situation but just wanted to let you know that my friend used speed in the first trimester because she thought she was going to terminate the pregnancy. However she was unable to do so and she gave birth to a beautiful, healthy girl. SO far, no health consequences except from regular colds and sneezes but that's the same for every small child.
