Okay mama's I've been very mislead and misinformed on this app by a fellow mother before I gave birth, she stated…

You would be surprised that pediatricians aren't informed on breastfeeding unfortunately. Which is why i seek information from a Lactation Consultant. Most pediatricians have outdated information.

It's ok to drink as long as you either as you stated wait the 3 hours or have some stored up

I personally was in a study where I drank and they tested my breastmilk and the amount that came threw was barely enough to show a sign of drinking at all. No need to wait the 3 hours

Horse malarkey. Ive been told by multiple lactation consultants that if you are ok to drive then you are ok to breastfeed. Not every medical professional is up to date on new research.

@kmharr3 I'm sorry must laugh at "horse malarkey" 🤣

@beebaby strongly disagree 😂 I'm gonna go with my lactation specialist, pediatrician and OBGYN, who are all separate doctors..

With all the comments it looks like it is greatly untested and approved.. I'm pretty sure I'll be safe and have 1 drink and use my stores milk to protect my child

And btw my doctors are 2 years younger than I am so I'm pretty sure they are freshened up on their courses 😊

@mrs.collins You Only Said Pediatrician In your post and nothing about your OB or lactation consultant. Fyi A lactation consultant isn't a doctor. Anyone can be one really. But we can always agree to disagree. No problem there. I wish doctors were more informed but they arent.

Pediatrician is a doctor OBGYN is a doctor , lactation specialist is one I talk to from the hospital and not a doctor lady 😂 what's your trip

I try to gather all the info I can because it's been misleading when you try to research it yourself.. I had a cesarean and was prescribed Percocet and was on a morphine drip for two days and they all assured me it wasn't excreted THRU breastmilk and I just couldn't fathom how the he'll alcohol is then ya know? Doesn't make sense AT all to me

That's why I consulted all I could.. it still don't make sense how a pill can be taken and not excreted but alcohol can

@beebaby

No I'm saying, you never said anything about an OB or lactation consultant giving you the info in your post. You only stated that your gonna listen to you pediatrician. I don't care what you do either way. We can agree to disagree

I know fully well what I u are saying he was just my third opinion on the matter

*you

Well ain't that the truth. I don't know why they say alcohol is okay but certain meds aren't. It is hard to understand but it has something to do with the break down. It is weird. But if you think about it, mothers give babies gripe water for gassy babies. Certain brands contain alcohol. Most people don't even look. It's hard to avoid it all

@vanessagarcia those don't always work

If you can drive, your can breastfeed. BM is just like your blood. It's always better to feed then drink. And if you get sloppy drunk then of course you shouldn't feed. But i have to disagree with your dr. No reason to wait 24 hours. Or pump & dump like other use too.

He didn't say 24 hours I decided 24 hours..
