Statistics
NIDA Pregnancy and Drug Use◦5.5% of 4 million women used illicit drugs
during pregnancy◦757,000 women drank alcohol◦820,000 smoked cigarettes◦221,000 used illegal drugs
Canadian statistics 10% of US

Statistics12.5% of infants born in a downtown
Toronto hospital and 3% born in suburban nurseries had prenatal cocaine exposure
“Drug use during pregnancy is infrequent but should be a priority because of the increased use of ecstasy (MDMA) and methamphetamine, especially in females of childbearing age” (Motherisk, 2009)

Physiology of Breast Milk DevelopmentThe mammary glad is an effective organ
for milk productionComposed of:
◦Glandular, fatty and fibrous tissue◦Modified sweat glands◦Tubualveolar glands◦Part of the skin
![Page 7: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mammary Gland
Lobes & Lobules◦15-25 lobes that
radiate around the nipple
◦Each lobe – 20-40 lobules
◦A smaller milk duct with 10-100 supporting alveoli
![Page 8: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Alveolar Unit
Perfused by capillaries and lymphaticsCapillaries
◦Primary source of nutrients◦Fats◦Hormones◦Drugs taken by mother
![Page 9: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pregnancy
1st Trimester◦Ductal system proliferates and branches –
estrogen◦Lobular system proliferates - progesterone
2nd & 3rd Trimesters◦Further lobular growth◦Prolactin stimulates production of colostrum
![Page 10: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pregnancy
3rd Trimester◦Cells of the alveoli differentiate into secretory
cells◦Capable of producing and releasing milk◦Breast enlarges – increased secretory cells &
distension of alveoli with colostrumBirth
◦Alveolar epithelial cells increase◦Increase production of milk
![Page 11: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Drug Transfer into Human Milk
Early stages of lactation◦Alveoli or lactocytes are small◦Intracellular spaces are large◦Substances can easily transfer into milk
Drugs Lymphocytes Immunoglobulins Proteins
![Page 12: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Drug Transfer into Human Milk
Transition from colostrum to mature milk◦Changes in the milk◦Rapid growth of the lactocyte◦Closing the large gap◦Tightening the junctions between the cells◦Result: less transfer of drugs and other
maternal proteins into the milk◦Process starts 36 hrs after delivery and
completed by 5 days
![Page 13: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Drug Characteristics (that increase excretion in milk include…)
Not plasma protein bindingNon-ionizingLow molecular weightLipid … rather than water solubilityWeaker alkaline rather than weak acid
![Page 14: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Drug Transference
From blood plasma across ductal cells to the milk ◦By diffusion ◦By active transport
May result in higher concentrating of the drug in the breast milk than in the plasma of the mother
![Page 15: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Milk/Plasma Ratio
Typically usedCalculations at non-steady states can
provide false resultsWater soluble drugs & drugs with high
molecular weight are more sluggish when passing into and out of the milk than drugs that are more lipid soluble or have lower molecular weight
![Page 16: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Milk/Plasma Ratio
M/P ratio is dependent on the time of sampling with respect to dose
Ratio calculated after single dose can vary after multiple doses
Better to measure the concentration of the drug in the milk
Anderson, 1991
![Page 17: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ingestion of Drug by Infant
Concentration of drug in milkThe frequency of breastfeedingVolume of milk consumedDrug absorptionMetabolism
Typically, baby gets <2% of mother’s dose

Maternal Drug Use & Breastfeeding
Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, amphetamines, alcohol use should not breastfeed
Pump & Dump◦Alcohol – 24 hrs◦Marijuana – 48 hrs◦Cocaine – 72 hrs
![Page 19: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Maternal Drug Use & Breastfeeding
◦Marijuana – lethargy, poor feeding, neurobehavioural effects, and more
◦Nicotine – lower mean body wt. of neonates◦Alcohol – sedation, delayed motor skills◦Cocaine – intoxication◦Amphetamines – irritability/poor sleep patterns◦Heroin – tremors and seizure
![Page 20: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CANNABIS
![Page 21: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Breastfeeding & Cannabis
Most-often used illicit drug by women of child -bearing age◦From 1980 to 2000, a North American/British
study found 10-15% of women within childbearing age group used THC (Gilchrist et al, 2003)
◦3% of pregnant women in Canada used regularly (Fried, 1991)
◦Especially amongst adolescent mothers
![Page 22: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Breastfeeding & Cannabis(Ahmad and Ahmad, 1990.)In some regions of Pakistan buffalo graze on
cannabis sativa and their milk feeds the children in the region delivering passive doses of THC
THC is excreted into human breast milk in moderate amounts◦One feeding = 0.8% of maternal intake of one joint
(Heavy users MP ratio rates 8) (Bennett et al, 1998)
Evidence of risk of decreased milk production
![Page 23: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Recommendations
Breastfeeding is not recommended for women who use cannabis
Effects on the fetus include sedation and reduced muscle tonus
Polydrug effects may be cumulative
** methadone and marijuana cause significant infant sedation
![Page 24: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
NICOTINE
![Page 25: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MOTHERISK RECOMMENDATION
Cigarette smoking is not recommended in nursing mothers. Nicotine and its major metabolite are detectable in milk. Smoking should be avoided while breast-feeding because it has been associated with infantile colic, lowered maternal prolactin levels and consequently, earlier weaning.
![Page 26: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Breastfeeding & Smoking - SIDS(Klonoff-Cohen et al., 1991.)
Risk of Sudden Death Infant Syndrome (SIDS) – associated with maternal smoking during and after pregnancy◦Odds ratio: 2 for passive exposure (during infancy),
3 for combined exposure (pregnancy and infancy)
No association between maternal recreational drug use and SIDS◦But paternal marijuana use during conception,
pregnancy, postnatally is significant associated with SIDS
![Page 27: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Breastfeeding & Nicotine
Side effects of tobacco on infants:◦Significantly lower mean body wt. of neonates◦Infections of lower respiratory tract more
frequent (Schulte-Hobein et al., 1992.)
Breast-fed infants shows 10x more concentrated nicotine in urine than adult passive smokers
![Page 28: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Breastfeeding & Nicotine
Nicotine replacement therapy poses no problems for breastfeeding infant
Risks to baby of not breastfeeding greater than risks of breastfeeding and smoking
![Page 29: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Breastfeeding & Alcohol
Standard drink = 13.7 gm (0.6 oz) pureThis amount is found in:
◦12 oz beer◦5 oz wine◦1.5 oz shot (Gin, Rum, Vodka, Whiskey)◦20 oz of beer or 6.5 oz wine
0.5% - 3.3% transferred to baby
![Page 31: Objectives Discuss the incidence of drug use during pregnancy Review the basic physiology of breast milk development Identify drugs of abuse and their.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110304/551ad01c550346856e8b5f12/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
MOTHERISK RECOMMENDATIONS
Alcohol freely distributes into milk and will be ingested by nursing infants. Moderate, occasional alcohol consumption in not likely to pose a problem to the infant, but heavy alcohol consumption is to be avoided. Ideally nursing should be withheld temporarily after alcohol consumption; at least two hours per drink to avoid unnecessary infant exposure. Side effects reported in infants include sedation and impairment of motor skills.

Risks of Alcohol Use and Breastfeeding
Active heavy alcohol or drug use contraindication to breastfeeding due to infant toxicity, abstinence recommended
Occasional moderate alcohol or drug use all agents are detected in milk; abstinence recommended

MOTHERISK 2011
Street drugs can be very potent such that even very small amounts can have pharmacological activity and adverse effects on the infant.
