ive been craving a beer or a glass of wine sooo much these past couple of stressful days! but i exclusively breastfeed.. and when i pump my son doesn’t like taking milk in bottles. HELP!! cause i know if u drink a beer u have to wait a couple hrs before feeding. is it the same with wine?
The amount of alcohol that transfers to your milk is so little that it’s okay to drink and breastfeed as long as you aren’t drunk. So feed baby then get your drink on after so you have time before the next feed.
I’m not in the States but I’m sure I read that if you’re safe enough to drive you’re safe enough to breastfeed. Hopefully someone can confirm that.
Be careful with wine it can make your baby very gassy. I remember I had wine one time when my daughter was a baby and she was so gassy and had bad reflux. So I never drank again after that. It’s hard to wait but to me it’s worth it. My son is 4 months and I’d love to have a margarita but I’m waiting.
