question for breastfeeding ladies! can I have like one drink?! like a mikes hard lemonade or…

they have alcohol testing strips at Toys R Us. You could also do a pump and dump, too.

yes, just pump and dump in east breast. just wait two hours before feeding.

do I pump like an hour after I drink? @stlgrl22 @_akgirl

you don't need to dump your milk. your breast milk metabolizes the alcohol just like the blood. one drink is fine. wait about two hours to feed for one drink. if you feel buzzed or drunk don't feed. wait till your head feels clear

Unfortunately that I don't know.

@junebaby, our lactation consultant said for it to be dumped out. our consultant said pump after two hours even after one drink.

a lot of the older teachings said to but you do not have to. I have spoke with several as well and researched it but everyone should do what's comfortable for them. @stlgrl22

@junebaby, fully agree. @mdomke22 do whatever you think is best to do.

Honest to God from a pediatrician; You can drink while breastfeeding, as long as you're not drinking a TON!

My best friend just told me today that she can be drinking a beer while breastfeeding her daughter

Yea I've heard both things so I was wondering what you ladies have heard as well! @kate_magalina @iisavana @junebaby @stlgrl22 hmm so if be safe then to have a Margarita from Applebee's or a few mikes hard lemonade?

I'm not sure because there's usually more alcohol content in both of those. Maybe the nurses at the hospital could tell you if you call
