Drinking , while BF . Mama advice ?

Question

so the last time I drank was the night my LO was conceived . He's turning one in a few days , so it's been a while !! I want to kick back and have a beer tonight with DH while we play a couple of games of cards. It'll be after we lay LO down tonight.. But he still wakes up around 3 ish to nurse .. I'm not going to get drunk , just knock of the edge .. Should i pump before I have a drink , or should it be fine ?

Answer

I would pump enough so you don't have to worry about it also they have little test strips so you can test the milk . But pump before so you don't have to worry!

Answer

You are NEVER supposed to pump and dump!!! Your milk is always fresh, alcohol runs through your blood along with your milk. Alcohol is not stored in your milk. It is always FRESH. Kellymom.com has good info on breastfeeding and drinking. One drink, or two is perfectly fine to nurse. If you feel fine you can nurse. Our bodies are made to allow the smallest amount of milk possible- we're talking .02%. For a couple drinks. So it's really not an issue. The concern lies in who will be supervising your child while intoxicated and make sure you're not consleeping if you've even had two drins!

Answer

Pump before

Answer

I breast fed each of my girls for over a year. I would feed your little guy beforehand, and then, after you have your drink, I would wait an hour and pump. Dump that out. You should be fine after that

Answer

Yup, what the last poster said is 100% accurate!

Answer

Good ol' pump and dump! My husband asked about this situation even though we aren't TTC! Feed the kid, drink and pump about an hour after you drink then dump it. You could also pump some before you drink for if you are worried about nursing after drinking. Our bodies process things pretty fast! You'll be alright!

Answer

I pumped before I drank and then I looked up how much I weighed and how much I drank with how long it would take to leave my system and then I also drank a lot of water too and then after a couple hours when I was sure it left my system I pumped again, my son couldn't BF though so I was pumping what I could and adding I to the formula he was on.
