Can I give my baby formula if I’ve drank too much?

Question

I’m going to a wedding Saturday and plan on having some drinks (probably more than I should) my Mom is gonna watch LO for us but I’m wondering if I can give her formula when I put her down for the night since I’ll have been drinking? She’s EBF and 5 months old, never had formula before. 
Just wondering if anyone else has given a breastfed baby formula only once? Lol 
I know they say safe to drive safe to feed but I already know I won’t be safe to drive 😂 I plan on having fun! 
And I really hate pumping. Trying to avoid pumping milk to give to baby but I will prolly pump when I get back just to keep my supply. 
Thanks In advance!

Answer

I would just pump before hand and not risk upsetting her stomach with formula. At this point she might also not take it if shes never had formula before

Answer

Pumping sucks but that’s your best bet. Formula is totally different from breast milk, obviously, so not only could it upset her tummy but she may not even take it.

Answer

You shouldn’t suddenly give her formula and then leave.  It might really upset her stomach because she’s never had it before.  You need to introduce the formula before that to see how she does.  It would be best to pump, but if you won’t, you definitely need to try the formula out before leaving her.

Answer

You can try, but it'll taste so different so there is no guarantee your baby will take it. If you wanna be sure she eats, you'll probably need to pump.
But you can always give it a try if you feel that's better. I just I would endure pumping to hopefully increase the chance of baby eating. Perhaps have formula as back up if needed.

Answer

Yeah you should pump before. Your milk will be tainted afterwards

Answer

Ill be the odd one out and say, not every baby has issues taking formula after being ebf, or a bottle. 
I would, however, before you give formula for the first time and then leave for the night. Try it beforehand, to derermine if baby will take issue.

Answer

She probably won’t even take a bottle of formula, it will probably l affect her tummy.
