The amount  of marijuana is a piece of information that is missing. Is
there any way  you can find out if the woman is taking a couple puffs
once or twice  day--in which case a tiny bit more exposure through
colostrum would be  relatively unimportant, or whether she is a
heavy-use, all-day stoner?  

Is the adoptive mother planning to breastfeed  also?


First of all thanks to all who responded, here and privately. The adoptive  
mom has not been able to find out much other than that the birthmom  is smoking 
The adoptive mom is planning on putting baby to breast,  with device for 
supplmenting, but was not interested in trying to  actually bring in her own 
supply, ,or at least has not wanted to talk about that  with me. We are meeting 
Monday, and baby is coming by CS on Thursday. She just  called me last week for 
the first time. The second time she called, to set up  time to come over to 
work through using the device and learning paced  bottlefeeding, she told me 
about the marijuana. Turns out she did not breastfeed  first child. Thanks again 
for all the info. I think mom will be very happy to  get so much info in making 
her decision.
