Drinking?

Question

Just a fun question for the women in here who like to enjoy adult beverages. Have you had a drink since giving birth? Has the 9 months with no drinking made you a light weight? Tell me your stories! 
Also for the breast feeding moms, did you pump and dump or just wait it out? My nurse told me you dont have to pump and dump because the alcohol leaves your milk as it leaves your system. Experiences?

Answer

I’ve had a drink a few times. I just feed right before and then wait a minimum of 2 hours after I finish the drink before I feed again. If I have more than one drink then I pump and dump because they say two drinks takes four hours to fully leave your system so I don’t wanna risk feeding baby or getting engorged.

Answer

I’ve had a few drinks since having my little. The Lactation coaches I’ve talked to said don’t ever pump and dump. If you get drunk mix it with other milk to dilute it. She also said it’s fine to continue normal as long as you aren’t drinking a lot like bottle of wine. So very little transfers in the milk feeding...

Answer

I have had one craft beer and one glass of wine. I felt fine after the beer but one glass of wine was all I could handle😂 I didn’t pump and dump either.

Answer

I’ve had a few drinks since giving birth and breast feed. I’ve only had one beer each time and never pump and dump. Just feed him before the beer. Definitely a light weight now! But I like it this way better.

Answer

Honestly I had a few drinks during my pregnancy. And I’ve had a few every week since she was born. But I haven’t gotten drunk (or even tipsy) yet. Low % beers and half glasses of wine. Always right after a feeding just to give it as much time as possible to be processed by my liver. 
If i ever drink enough to get drunk I won’t feed her until I’ve sobered up. And if I had to pump for comfort during that time I’d pour it out.

Answer

I've had a few glasses of wine. Never more than one glass. I wait until she is down for the night since I have at least 3 hours maybe 4 until her next feeding.

Answer

I’ll have a Seagrams or Mikes with dinner sometimes. I caught a pretty good buzz on the 4th of July, but I didn’t feel like I was any more of a lightweight after pregnancy
