There are significant detrimental effects documented re breastfeeding and neonatal development if marijuana is used in pregnancy or postnatally. A totally different scenario to use in palliative care for anorexia & nausea.Theoretically a baby/child could sue the mother for harm incurred by the mum using marijuana (or indeed any harmful substance eg tobacco, alcohol etc) during pregnancy. Also if midwives know that mothers are using potentially harmful substances they do have a legal duty of care to provide all the information to the mother.
