Ma*****na Use in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: What You Should Know

Pregnancy and early motherhood are times of deep care, love, and important choices. As ma*****na becomes more widely used and accepted, it’s important to understand how it may impact both you and your baby.

Research shows that ma*****na use during pregnancy can be associated with:
• Low birth weight & Increased risk of stillbirth
• Preterm birth
• Potential effects on brain development
• Learning & behavioral problems

During breastfeeding, THC (the active component in ma*****na) can pass into breast milk and may affect a baby’s developing brain, sleep patterns, and long-term neurodevelopment.

This is not about judgment—it’s about support and safety. Many women use ma*****na for nausea, stress, or sleep, especially when navigating the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and postpartum. You are not alone.

If you are using ma*****na or thinking about stopping, help is available.
Your OB care team is here to support you with safe, effective alternatives and resources tailored to your needs.

Healthy moms. Healthy babies. Supported every step of the way. 💜

Check this out Mamas! Great advice from Dr. Lindsey at The Local Chiropractic - Dr. Lindsey Robinson

New moms… does your camera roll look like this?
500 photos of your baby… and somehow every single one feels necessary. 😅

But all those pictures can actually tell you something important about your baby’s development.

Let’s talk about plagiocephaly — a.k.a. flat head — and how to help avoid it.

Often by the time a pediatrician points out a flat spot, the early signs have already been there for weeks. The good news is that many of those clues show up in everyday moments parents see all the time.

One simple thing we encourage parents to do around 2–4 weeks old is a quick “camera roll audit.”

Scroll through your recent pictures and see if you notice a pattern.

Here are some real-life clues that your baby may already be developing a side preference:

📱 Camera Roll Audit
Look through your photos. If your baby’s head is turned the same direction in most pictures, they may already favor one side.

🚗 Car Seat Mirror
When you glance in the car seat mirror, does your baby almost always look the same direction?

🛏 Bassinet Check
When you lay your baby down, do they consistently settle with their head turned one way, even if you start them facing the other direction?

🍼 Feeding Clue
Does feeding feel much easier on one side than the other? Babies with neck tension often prefer turning one direction.

🤱 Shoulder Snuggle
When baby falls asleep on your chest or shoulder, do they naturally rest their head the same way every time?

🧸 Tummy Time Turn
During tummy time, do they look mostly one direction or seem reluctant to turn their head the other way?

Small preferences like these are common, but when they become consistent habits, they can contribute to developing flat spots over time.

Noticing any of these patterns with your baby? We’d love to help. Call our office today to schedule an appointment and let’s support healthy development from the start!
