Hey ladies! So my husband and I are about to go on a date night and have a couple of drinks. How long should I wait to…

Most of the time 1 or 2 drinks does nothing to your breast milk, you can get little breast milk ph strips at target and Walmart that test for alcohol in your milk though

Don't breastfeed your baby as you'redrinking or right after drinking. “If a mom is going to drink alcohol, she should wait at least three to four hours until breastfeeding the baby,” Dr. Herway says. (The American Academy of Pediatrics says to wait a minimum of two hours.)"

24 hours or you can pump and dump a couple times

plus i think it also depends on how much ya drink too lol

if you are sober enough to drive you are sober enough to breastfeed (:

KellyMOM is a good resource. As long as you can drive, it is safe to breastfeed. Not a lot goes in your milk. Also if you don't do it often, it is fine. Especially if the baby is a little older. Like 4+ months.

If you can drink you can drive

I mean if you can drive you can nurse

If you're sober enough to drive sober enough to nurse

Here's a chart I use although I bought test strips and I tested after I had a 16oz beer with dinner and my milk was fine so I use the strips now. Pumping and dumping does not remove the alcohol from your milk. It needs to be metabolized so only time will remove it.

You can get strips to test alcohol levels in your breast milk :)
