is it ok to have a glass of wine?!

Question

My baby is 3 weeks old and I am wondering if it is ok for me to have a glass of wine? Should I skip a feeding?

Answer

Of course it's ok just make sure you feed baby first and maybe pump before you drink. You should be fine, if you feel drunk then Your milk is "drunk" so wait until you feel sober to nurse again.

Answer

Alcohol works the same in breastmilk as it does in your blood. So if you feel tipsy, there's prob too much in your milk (same as there being too much in your blood making you unable to drive) Wait until it wears off and you can nurse again. "Pump and dump" doesn't do anything bc alcohol doesn't accumulate in your breastmilk.

Answer

If you're good enough to drive, you're good enough to nurse. Don't get tipsy, take your time, drink lots of water and eat something before.

Answer

My doctor said a couple won't affect the breast milk, but if you're feeling the affects of the alcohol, don't nurse.

Answer

Yes totally fine. One glass right AFTER you feed, and nothing will go thru your milk at the next feeding!! Or... pump before and feed your little one the pumped milk after you have some wine so there's definitely no worries.

Answer

Have a glass if you want, don't go overboard, and remember that your LO will be sleeping through the night soon and this won't even be a problem anymore. One glass isn't going to affect anything

Answer

Answer
