question: can you drink certain amount of alcohol while breastfeeding? I've read you can and been told you can't.

thank you ladies! I've been wanting a margarita or corona :) but guess I'll probably have to wait.

I would pump right before drinking 2 beers then pump 3 hrs after the last pump and test it. I never got a positive result unless I drank more than 2 beers. your body filters it out just depends on how long it takes ur body to do that.

I've heard a glass of red wine only.. Unless you are pumping and dumping

If you can drive a car you can feed your child. That's what they told me in my breast feeding class

They make test strips!

Lol..baby brain. I didn't read it all. So I was watching a show where the Mom pumped as much milk as she could because she knew she was going to have wine that night. I just don't know how long it takes before you can start breastfeeding again and it doesn't affect the baby. I don't think it's that long though. I'm sure you can find the answer on the Internet.

You can drink but you will have to dump the milk for a little, then resume later. If you're going to start drinking, it's best you start baby on formula or have a large reserve to use on the days you can't give him/her your breast.

until after you're done breastfeeding?

Some people drink a glass of wine. I'm waiting until after though.
