The [[March of Dimes]] said "it is likely that cocaine will reach the baby through breast milk," and advises the following regarding cocaine use during pregnancy:
{{Blockquote|Cocaine use during pregnancy can affect a pregnant woman and her unborn baby in many ways. During the early months of pregnancy, it may increase the risk of [[miscarriage]]. Later in pregnancy, it can trigger [[Preterm birth|preterm labor]] (labor that occurs before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or cause the baby to grow poorly. As a result, cocaine-exposed babies are more likely than unexposed babies to be born with [[low birth weight]] (less than {{convert|5.5|lb|kg|disp=or|abbr=on}}). Low-birthweight babies are 20 times more likely to die in their first month of life than normal-weight babies, and face an increased risk of [[developmental disability|lifelong disabilities]] such as mental retardation and [[cerebral palsy]]. Cocaine-exposed babies also tend to have smaller heads, which generally reflect smaller brains. Some studies suggest that cocaine-exposed babies are at increased risk of birth defects, including urinary tract defects and, possibly, heart defects. Cocaine also may cause an unborn baby to have a [[stroke]], irreversible [[brain injury]], or a [[myocardial infarction]].<ref name="mod">{{Cite web |url=http://www.marchofdimes.org/pregnancy/illicit-drug-use-during-pregnancy.aspx |title=Street Drugs and pregnancy |work=March of Dimes |access-date=26 May 2009 |archive-date=5 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905080845/http://www.marchofdimes.org/pregnancy/illicit-drug-use-during-pregnancy.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}
