@tiffanigypsy8, thank u so much!!!!

I was told you can have a drink or two and still feed the baby 2 hours later. so memorial day weekend I nursed my son and put him down for a nap then had one mixed drink and then just waited 2 hours or more before feeding him again

I've done enough research on this to write a damn book lol, the only reason you'd need to pump and dump is for comfort; engorgment while waiting for it to be out of your milk. Pumping and dumping doesn't get the alcohol out of your milk. Also it takes around to 2-3 beers to get into your milk. People look at me crazy when I drink a beer or wine and feed my baby, but it doesn't immediately enter your milk. After 2 hours after drinking (if drinking more than a few drinks) is when there is the most alcohol in your milk. It's closest compared to your blood alcohol levels. Some of the test strips are rip offs, I've tried a few of them for my own research benefits and some were a huge waste of money. Now I only use them if I've drank liquor.

They have test strips to test your milk, I'm definitely getting some so Mommy can enjoy a glass of wine or beer:)

you're welcome

@arivera64, thank u so much fr fr

Yep, you're good to go. No need to dump your milk

@arivera64, okay, thank u .. Honestly I don't think it was even half a beer.

safe to drive, safe to feed! The need to pump and dump is if you are really trashed

Okay, thank u:) @momof2.16

Half a beer is probably nothing but I would pump and dump the first round just to be on the safe side. I've had old women tell me beer boosts breast milk supply and to drink one per day but I just couldn't, it doesn't seem safe to me! All these old wives tales are crazy sometimes lololol

no

There are tester strips you can buy that you can use to test your milk to be sure it's safe for baby after drinking. I always pumped and dumped once and the second time tested with the strips to be sure.
