Soo question about beer?

Question

I'd like to have a beer now that I'm feeling better and I'm 12 days pp. I pump and breastfeed. I feel like a bad mom for wondering this but what are the rules for having a beer or two? And how long do I have to wait? I have some milk supply in the fridge as well since I produce soooo much milk.

Answer

Safe to drive safe to feed. Generally an hour per beer and some do 2 just to be extra safe

Answer

A beer or two isn't going to affect the breastmilk. If you are worried you can get these little strips to test to make sure there is no alcohol in your milk! My doctor even recommended a beer or two to help w my milk.

Answer

Just remember if you have a beer just wait an hour before you feed and your good

Answer

With my first baby the midwife told me a beer would help me produce more milk...

Answer

It's just like in your blood, it takes an hour per drink to filter out. And if you've got stored up milk then you're good! Just give that to baby if you feel like you've had too much to drink. My rule is as long as I'm just barely tipsy (about two beers depending on which type) then it's all good. I mean think about it, your blood and therefore your breastmilk, only have a blood alcohol concentration of .08% when you're tipsy. Some fruit juices contain up to 1% alcohol concentration just due to the nature of fruit juice fermenting all on its own. The baby isn't getting drunk even with their teeny tiny new liver on .08% concentration of alcohol in at tops the 8oz of milk they're probably drinking

Answer

My lactation consultant said one is fine any after that wait a couple hours per drink.

Answer

There's beer you can buy that doesn't have alcohol in it. It's called O'dules. If ur worried about alcohol content, this beer has none. Just Barley flavor

Answer

They also make milk test strips you can buy at Target and Amazon if you wanted to go that route.
