If you can find baby you're fine. It's like pouring a glass of wine into a swimming pool and then drinking it. The alcohol content within your milk is a lot less then you think
I’ve been told if you can hold a baby you can feed a baby. Pumping and dumping is a waste and doesn’t do anything much to help. Typically takes 2hrs to be completely out of your system and if you are worried there are strips you can buy online to check the alcohol content of your breast milk I had a glass here and there while bf but would try to have it when my baby was down for their longest sleep, didn’t always work but again ^^
I had some wine yesterday while drinking lots of water and I woke this morning feeling like my supply was down. So I’m good on the wine even tho I love and missed my glass of red wine. But you can definitely drink wine especially red while breastfeeding, some people might make it a HUGE deal about doing it but it’s your life body and your baby!!
I read that your breast milk alcohol content is basically the same as your blood alcohol content. I'll have a beer or a glass of wine with dinner and drive home, so I had no problem having one drink and not worrying about when baby was going to eat. Especially considering the speed at which I drink things. If it takes me an hour to sip on a beer, I'm not worried about it being in my system that much. If I wanted to have more than one drink, I would strategize and wait until she was down for the night, or just bottle feed.
I took a breast feeding class and the lady said the best time to drink is when your baby is breast feeding 😂 it doesn’t go straight to the boob obviously so when baby is ready to eat again it’s already out of your system 👏
My doctor told me glass is okay and if you are concerned wait 2 hours to feed
