Alcohol and breastfeeding

Kristina

I need advice on if I should dump the breastmilk I pumped while drinking. Don't worry, my LO was at my parents for the night and I have a freezer stash of breastmilk.

I drank 2 glasses of wine and 1 cider within a 4hr period - I was feeling pretty tipsy when I first pumped to release engorgement. Should I just dump that breastmilk?

It's now been 8 hours since my last drink and I feel completely fine. I pumped and was wondering if my milk is now ok.
