Greetings All,

Medscape is offering a free 0.25 CME/CE on a new lactation topic (newly released on Medscape on October 19, 2018).  

Title:  How Does Marijuana Use Affect Lactating Mothers?  

One study cited in this short continuing ed module is the new study by Bertrand and colleagues in the journal, Pediatrics: "Marijuana use by breastfeeding mothers and cannabinoid concentrations in breast milk." Pediatrics. 2018;142. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/142/3/e20181076. 

A current clinical report from the AAP on the use of cannabinoids during pregnancy and lactation is also discussed.  Ryan SA, Ammerman SD, O'Connor ME; COMMITTEE ON SUBSTANCE USE AND PREVENTION; SECTION ON BREASTFEEDING. Marijuana use during pregnancy and breastfeeding: implications for neonatal and childhood outcomes. Pediatrics. 2018;142.  http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2018/08/23/peds.2018-1889.

This continuing education topic and many others are available at no cost on Medscape.  http://www.medscape.org

With best regards,

Debbie
