Effects on Babies

Prenatal Exposure

THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, can pass from mother to baby through the placenta and breast milk
Prenatal exposure to THC has been linked to:
- Changes in fetal brain development
- Impaired fetal growth and birth weight
- Increased risk of behavioral and cognitive problems in children

Birth and Infancy

Babies exposed to THC in the womb may experience:
- Withdrawal symptoms after birth (e.g., tremors, irritability)
- Increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Breastfed babies of mothers who smoke weed may be exposed to THC through breast milk, which can:
- Impair infant motor skills and cognitive development
- Increase risk of sedation and lethargy in infants

Long-term Effects

Children exposed to THC in the womb may experience:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-like symptoms
- Impaired executive function and memory
- Increased risk of anxiety and depression
The long-term effects of prenatal THC exposure on brain development and function are not yet fully understood and require further research.
