Please join us for the The Ohio State University Anthropology Speakers Series talk on 10/21 by Dr. Elizabeth Holdsworth.
Talk title: Cannabis use while breastfeeding: effects on milk composition and infant development
Despite states increasingly legalizing the recreational use of cannabis, very little is known about how moms' cannabis use while breastfeeding may influence milk composition and development of the breastfed infant. This talk will present results from the Lactation and Cannabis Study, which measured cannabis compounds (e.g., THC) in milk before and after moms used cannabis, and compared infant development outcomes between moms who used cannabis while breastfeeding and a control group.
Dr. Holdsworth is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at The Ohio State University
