glass of wine
Ladies I've been wanting some wine for like a month now lol, baby girl is about to be 2 week. I'm ebf her. I have a bottle of wine just waiting for me. I only want one glass but concerned with breast feeding and how 1 glass could affect my milk. Suggestions??

Double check the guidelines online, but I believe alcohol stays in your breast milk for 2 hours. So one glass right after she feeds should be ok. You can buy test strips to test your breast milk too.

I believe that's what I read too. I'm hesitant with it tho because she eats a lot more then two hours apart.

I’ve had a glass (or two!) the last few nights. I follow the rule that if you’re good to drive you’re good to nurse.

I've heard that one too and I have no idea which one to go by..

Check out kellymom.com. It’s like the Bible for breastfeeding articles and info. I can’t really remember the guidelines but, I remember early on with my first I would drink a glass while I was nursing. Then it wasn’t in your system for that round of milk and usually baby waited a couple of hours before eating again.

I drink dark beer while breastfeeding. It has the highest content of brewers yeast. Brewers yeast actually helps your supply. One drink won’t hurt. Just don’t go getting wasted lol and those alcohol breast milk strips are SUPER sensitive. I had one test positive NEXT to a can of beer before I even dipped it in my milk lol!

If you’re safe to drive, you’re safe to breastfeed, usually that’s one drink. OR one drink, nurse, then a second drink.. unless your baby is cluster feeding.
