YO.  I just tried (without success) to Google up the name of a doctor in
CO, who gave a greast presentation about marijuana use and BFg at a
conference in that state in late 2014.  One of her strong messages:
Marijuana today is much more potent than what the Hippies of the 70s were
smoking.  To say that parents and children survived that period and came
out OK does not adequately assess the risks of THC use today.  AND, a lot
of pot sold in CO and other legalization states is in edible form. It
doesn't get you as high, as quickly -- so users tend to eat MORE.  And end
up with MORE THC in their system.

I did, however, come across this interesting piece about *how* to talk to
patients about their marijuana use if breastfeeding.  The original poster
and others may find it helpful.
