Breastfeeding and
Substance Use Disorder

Choosing whether or not to breastfeed is a personal decision. No matter your history, your breastfeeding choices, or where you are in your recovery, you deserve simple, accurate information to help you decide. You are the most important part of your care team. Your thoughts, feelings, and needs matter, and it’s okay to have questions or mixed feelings about breastfeeding or pumping.

MSBC has partnered with MaineCare and MaineMOM to develop a research-backed guide for navigating breastfeeding in the context of substance use and recovery.
