Moms, I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I've been wanting to drink so bad lately. I'm…

I am wanting to know the same thing. I heard there is test strips that we can get that test our milk to see if it had alcohol in it. And how much we would have to dump.

you don't have to dump your milk. if you nurse, have one drink and wait two to three hours you can nurse again. if your head feels clear you are ok to nurse. alcohol doesn't stay in your milk. it's filtered out just like in the blood. now if you were to get drunk you'd need to wait longer.

Get the test strips. Pump and dump doesn't help get the alcohol out any faster you have to wait for your body to metabolize it out so pump and dump only helps for comfort if you are engorged and need relief. Depending on how much you drink depends on how long till you can feed again. FTM but learned a lot about this is in my alcohol studies class.

for 1 beer = 2 or 3 hours and to be safe get the test strips

@alainalovesmommy, @queenmother @junebaby @aprilcgutkopf please go find the fb group Breastfeeding and the obstacles we overcome. also here's a link to great info http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/lifestyle/alcohol/

technically if you can hold the baby safely you can breastfeed. your body filters out enough of the alcohol that it won't hurt your baby. just don't get smashed assed drunk.

this is coming from very educated breastfeeding momma's who have done research.

Thank you! @jomommaclark
