Insider science on Instagram released a video with obgyns and on it the obgyn said there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink when breastfeeding and that you shouldn’t drink if you breastfeed. This is NOT true and studies show that it does not harm the baby. Such a minuscule amount even gets into the milk that they did studies showing even if you binge drank (4 drinks in a row) and breastfed your baby that the amount that gets into your breastmilk and then baby’s bloodstream is not even harmful. Obviously DONT binge drink and feed baby, but even the AAP says you can drink, just wait 2 hours to feed again.

I HATE when misinformation gets spread around and it scares people from feeding and causes them to pump and dump.
