You don't need to pump and dump. This is so outdated. I had a NICU baby and educated myself really fast on what was ok and what was not.

You'd have to be blacked out drunk before enough alcohol passed through your breastmilk to affect your baby. Clearly if you've blacked out you're not going to be breastfeeding.

The saying: sober enough to drive, sober enough to breastfeed actually refers to if you're sober enough to care for your child- not the alcohol content of your milk. Obviously you should drink responsibly always.

No need to pump, no need to dump.

It’s recommended to pump and dump for a period on 24hrs or more depending on how much drink. It is never safe to wait 1-2 or how many hours because alcohol can stay in your system for up to 24hrs no matter how much you drink. Just make sure you baby has enough milk depending on how much you think you’re going to drink .

I would pump enough milk just so baby can have some while the alcohol is getting out of your system

Some women use test strips to see if the alcohol is out of their breast milk, some pump before drinking or feed their baby before hand but you can actually drink and breastfeed. As long as you're able to care for your baby as usual then it's fine once you are so drunk you can't tend to your baby that's too much. Its your personal choice as to which method works for you.
