Pump and Dump
Why do people actually advise people to do this?!
My midwife, doctors and prenatal leader have told me under no uncertain terms do I ever pump and dump.
Breast milk is liquid gold! Your body metabolises alcohol so quickly and less than trace amounts of alcohol end up in breast milk even if you were to go out and be absolutely smashed off your head.
If you're safe to drive, you're safe to feed, the risk is more from dropping your baby than any actual substance in your milk.
If you're not safe to drive, WAIT and your body will metabolise the alcohol out of your entire system, including your breast milk, which doesn't just sit in your breasts. I'm training to be a lactation consultant and this is one of the first things you learn!
