Outrage on Facebook as woman post a picture of her smoking weed while breastfeeding her baby

A picture has emerged apparently showing a woman breastfeeding while taking hits from a bong reports Metro U.K.

Identified on Facebook as Kayla Marlow, she holds a purple bong to her mouth while her friend, Krystal Rose Shillingford-Holm, holds a lighter over the other end.

It is not known if there is anything in the bong or if it was done as a joke to wind people up online, but it is in Portland, Oregon, where the use of marijuana is legal in most circumstances.

The poster wrote on the the image ‘Need a safe place to share this beautiful picture’ and added that she was ‘feeling blessed’.

The picture was shared in a cannabis parenting support group on Facebook, but screenshots of the original post have gathered almost 9,700 likes and over 2,000 shares.

Commenters were quick to share their outrage. One social media user said: ‘I’m not against weed, however what they are doing is child endangerment it would be the same if I lit a cigarette in the house with my kids.’

Another commented: ‘If you are going to smoke it do it away from the baby! Staged or not you’re main concern should be feeding your baby, not posting pictures on facebook.’

One commenter wrote: ‘Never mind second hand infant smoke inhalation….it’s just cannabis……fucking idiots. I’m no doctor but I’m pretty sure a newborn child breathing anything besides air is probably bad.’

Another said: ‘Good lord. Ok I’m more liberal than conservative, and I support responsible legalization, but this is fucking ridiculous! If you want to smoke, do so when kids aren’t in your care.’

Marijuana consumption is legal for recreational use for anyone aged over 21 in the state of Oregon.

One shocking comment on the original post read: ‘LOVE IT! My boyfriend would do this for me when I breastfed and of course you have to do the lean over so you don’t bump their head or light their little hairs on fire.’

Both women pictured have now appear to have retired their social media accounts since the post gathered attention.
