When to breastfeed again

Question

I had 2 cocktails and 2 long islands last night when should I breastfeed (I’m going to pump and dumb rn )

Answer

Pump and dump is absolutely not necessary. If you don’t feel wasted and are able to talk normally you are fine  The legal limit is .08 and the amount of alcohol in your breast mills would be .008. So as long as you feel capable of driving or walking without stumbling over yourself you are fine to feed baby.

Answer

Put another way, “Less than 2 percent of alcohol that a mother drinks reaches her breast milk,” Amy Schutt, M.D., an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine, tells SELF. Worth noting: Infants metabolize alcohol at about half the rate of adults (meaning that alcohol stays in their system longer).
All this means that the amount of alcohol that could pass through to your breast milk and to your baby is very, very low. 
Assuming the worst possible scenario where a mother engages in binge drinking and ingests four drinks of 12 grams pure alcohol and then breastfeeds her child at the time of the maximum blood alcohol concentration, the child would still not have a blood alcohol level of more than 0.005 percent. It appears biologically implausible that occasional exposure to such amounts should be related to clinically meaningful effects to the nursing children,”

Answer

As long as you don’t feel drunk you can feed- the amount that goes through is tiny!

Answer

You can feed, when you are sober. And you don't need to pump and dump, unless it is just uncomfortable for you to leave it in.
Basically I would wait until morning. Or if you have alcotester or brethalizer then it is ok to feed, when you are sober enough to drive. Alcohol dissolves in breast milk at the same pace it does in your blood.

Answer

Once you don’t feel tipsy anymore, it’s safe to feed. Breastmilk is made with your blood and alcohol leaves it at the same rate. It doesn’t stay in your milk once you metabolize it.
You can still pump if you don’t want to feed baby, but use it for a milk bath or something! That liquid gold is too precious to waste.
