Alcohol in breastfeeding ?

Question

Im 5 weeks post partum and i breastfeed my baby sometimes , not regulary because i don’t have enough supply. I mostly feed my baby with formula! I have a question, can i drink alcohol or not ? Please answer

Answer

Kellymom.com. No need to pump and dump. As long as you are sober enough to drive you’re sober enough to breastfeed

Answer

Yes. Obviously don’t get shit faced but if you’re good to hold and carry your baby safely you can breastfeed.

Answer

Not if you want to breast feed. There are strips you can buy to test your breast milk for alcohol. You just have to pump and dump until the strip doesn't detect any alcohol but I just think it's better to not drink and have to go through all that.

Answer

no it will be in your milk only within 30 minutes to an hour after drinking...you'll have to pump and dump before nursing again

Answer

My midwife said IPAs can up your supply. Like a few a week.

Answer

No. A study was just released that shows that even a small amount of alcohol in breast milk can cause cognitive problems. If you choose to drink, pump and dump.
