Having a few drinks at 5 weeks pp?

Question

My SO's birthday is on the 22nd, and I will be 5 weeks and 3 days pp. If I have say...3 drinks, shots specifically, will it have a negative affect on my supply? I know alcohol is dehydrating, and I don't want to do anything that could negatively impact my supply. Also, I should definitely pump and dump this milk for several hours after, right? I know I don't have to if I have one drink, but I'd like to have a few, lol.

Answer

I'd say if you're worried about dehydration, drink a little water before/after. Also you can test your milk if you don't want to dump it and are worried about the alcohol content. I've tested mine after half a bottle of wine and a few hours later and it was totally fine. I've also had a mojito and pumped an hour later and it was fine. So I think you'll be okay, but of course you want to be sure.
