Just curious what other moms do? I went out for dinner last night and had two margaritas and I fed her pumped milk last night. Do I need to pump and dump before I give her breast again or is it ok to feed her?
@verobaby, that helps me feel better about it. I was worried all day that I never pumped and dumped. Stellie has been spitting up more today but it's probably due to her teething.🙂
no need to evee pump & dump. it will not make the alcohol leave your body faster. you can just wait until you no longer feel drunk. if you are uncomfortable you can pump & save like she said above or then dump it but like i said waiting is the only thing you can do to let alcohol leave your body. but a couple of drinks won't hurt baby.
if you can drive you can breast feed. there is a very small amount of alcohol that gets into milk so its usually not necessary to pump and dump unless you get totally trashed. if you do decide to pump and not feed her that milk save it and mark it as bath milk. using milk in a bath for baby every now and then is really too for their skin! I just found that out myself so I have a Gatorade bottle marked for if I ever feel the need to not save certain milk for any reason
probably. plus their tummies are still sensitive. just like sometimes we get a little sick after we eat babies do too.
