CBD Oil

CBD should be avoided while breastfeeding. The FDA advises against CBD use during breastfeeding due to unknown effects on infants and concerns about THC contamination in unregulated products.

CBD (cannabidiol) has not been adequately studied for safety during breastfeeding. CBD products โ€” even those labeled 'THC-free' โ€” may contain detectable THC due to poor regulatory oversight. THC is fat-soluble and stores in breast milk and infant fat tissue. The FDA explicitly advises against CBD use during breastfeeding. The risks to infant brain development are unknown but concerning.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
