Breastfeeding mommies. Lets say i wanted to have a few drinks for the holidays how would i do so…

Safe to drive, safe to feed

You could also pump extra milk and store it and give it to the baby while you're drinking.

@badadvicemom so just depends on how i feel? You dont like.pump and dump type stuff?

The saying goes- if you can find the baby you can feed the baby. That’s what I’ve always been told at least

No pump and dump is a myth. It's also a myth that you can't have a glass of wine and drink. Whatever your BAC is at the time is the alcohol percentage of your BM. If your BAC is .08, your milk is .08% alcohol.

@badadvicemom Okay Cool. So if i have lets say one beer. Im fine to feed him?

I downloaded the Michigan Univerisity BAC tracking app with my daughter if I had a few that night so I would wake up and feel safe (or not) to feed her.

@momtothe3rdpower thats too funny 😂😂😂 so like if i feel fine he'll be fine right?

They proved the pump and dump thing to be an unnecessary precaution! They compare your breastmilk to pouring a shot of liquor into a swimming pool. The actual risk is making sure you’re not too intoxicated to care for your baby :) have fun!!

Absolutely. Beer has the least amount of alcohol typically unless you're an IPA drinker or something. And even then, one beer won't put you over the limit.

@twinmama8615, as long as you’re not completely wasted, you’re fine. I’ve had three beers and felt fine and still fed my kids.

@dobbbbi478 thank you!! Thats a great mental image. Hahaa makes me feel much better

You'd have to be severely intoxicated for any of it to go to your baby. Just make sure you feel comfortable enough to hold your babe / not on the verge of falling asleep !
