I'm sorry but haven't you gotten any education about pregnancy, breastfeeding and babies? EVERYTHING you eat, inhale, drink gets to the baby! If you get high the baby get high.

No, the milk comes in response to the change in hormone levels after the delivery of the baby. Milk is not usually secreted in pregnancy.
Don't worry if there does not seem to be a lot initially, for the first couple of days you secrete colostrum a very fatty pre-milk, high in calories and antibodies. The lighter almost blue milk comes after 2 or 3 days.
Good Luck (englishangel)
the first response is not at all true, some women start leaking as early as 20 weeks, most women will leak between 30 and 25 weeks, but some women do not leak until after the baby is born. ALL women are different because all bodies are different and all pregnancy's are different as well, my current pregnancy is totally different from my first, with my first i didn't leak until the day before i went into labor (i also had no weight gain until my 7th month and no morning sickness) and with this child i am already leaking at 32 weeks (gained all my weight within the 2nd trimester and have been sick since week 8 lol.) The reason I may be producing milk sooner (as well as the early weight gain) than last time is that my body is saying "been there done that" and is more prepared.

Only if the body carrying the breast milk in the breast turned into powder.
Some breasts leak every time there is a letdown or milk ejection. Some women don't leak at all. It has to do with the individual anatomy of each breast. Some women leak in the early weeks as their bodies are just beginning to produce lots of milk and then stop leaking. Leaking breasts do not tell you how much milk you are making.

Depends on what you mean??? If you're pregnant you should not be smoking marijuana to begin with as it can cause a lot of problems, not to mention it kills brain cells.

The absolute best way to increase milk production is through stimulation. The more your baby suckles, the more milk you will produce. If you cannot allow the baby to suckle often, you can increase breastmilk yourself by manual stimulation or by pumping the milk. Doing this on a regular basis will increase the flow of milk, so your baby will have plenty of milk when she is ready to come home.
