So what's the rule with drinking and breastfeeding? I've heard pump and dump, not to pump and dump, to wait 2 hours for…

There is this girl on here (cannot remember who) but hopefully she reads this! She posted a medical article about this exact thing. I'll try to find it and if I do, I'll comment it for you 😊

2 drinks is usually fine. don't gotta worry about it unless you're shitfaced lol

if your sober enough to drive you are sober enough to breastfeed. that's what I was told.

I got these strips that test your breastmilk for alcohol. I got them off amazon and they totally work. I tested them on thanksgiving I got really good buzz going and it showed up positive. Then the other night I had a glass of wine with dinner and it showed up negative. You have to drink quite a bit for it to get in your milk so I think having a few glasses of wine or a mixed drink is fine and then just wait a few hours before you nurse. But I would get the strips to help give you peace of mind 😊

my doc said you dont have to pump and dump if you drink at max the amount of alcohol that gets transfered to the baby is only about 10% of what you drink and not enough to effect the baby

but i dont recommend picking up ir hold a baby if you plan to get drunk you could end up dropping or something worst
