Breastfeeding & wine
Do you think it will be okay to have a glass of wine when we go out for Mother’s Day lunch and still breastfeed/ pump or shall I dump it?

Apparently there’s no need to dump it. Sort of like driving again after drinking - just leaving it a while before you drive
They say it is best to breastfeed just before or while drinking the wine as takes a while to reach the milk. If you only have one you’ll be able to feed again after two hours and it’ll be out of your system. They say it’s about 2 hours per drink x
You can 100% drink while breastfeeding. Do not throw away the milk, you would have to drink a LOT for it to affect your baby. I did with my LO and will be doing again this time. Enjoy the wine mummy, it’s been a long 9 months :)

I’ve read online (I know that’s not always reliable) to just leave it a couple of hours after having a glass of wine before pumping or breast feeding again. I’m pumping now, then having a glass of wine and will then feed / pump 2 hours after I finish my wine x
