Can the smell of weed harm my baby?
Try not to worry if you've just smelled the odd whiff of weed here or there during your pregnancy. This tiny amount of exposure is very unlikely to have harmed your baby.

Can weed cause SIDS?
Any form of smoking, tobacco or cannabis, can increase the risk of SIDS. Do not sleep with your baby if smoking. If you plan to use marijuana, make sure another person is available to safely care for your baby.
