Study Notes
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.
