I was given this info from a mama on amino when I asked about drinking wine.

The alcohol content in breast milk immediately after drinking is equivalent to a 0.0274 proof beverage. That’s like mixing 1 oz of 80 proof vodka (one shot) with 2919 oz of mixer . By the way, 2919 oz is over 70 liters. Two hours after drinking one (strong) drink the alcohol has disappeared from the sample. Completely harmless to the nursing infant. Drinking about 3 drinks in 1.5 hours resulted in higher numbers, but still negligible amounts of alcohol would be transferred to the child. One hour after imbibing in 3 drinks, the milk was the equivalent of 0.07498 proof beverage. That would be like adding 1 oz of 80 proof vodka (one shot) to 1066 oz of mixer (1066 oz is over 26 liters). Two hours after imbibing in 3 drinks, the milk was 0.01258 proof. That would be like adding 1 oz of 80 proof vodka to 3179 oz of mixer (over almost 80 liters). So, even though an infant has much less body weight, any of these percentage of alcohol in breast milk is unlikely to adversely affect the baby.

My lactation consultant said as long as you don't feel tipsy you're fine to feed. I'm sure one drink is good. Target has test strips.

As long as you can carry your baby fine / drive your good. I don’t drink beer or mixed drinks. I’m a henny drinker sooooo, I’ve drank when I go out and come home & nurse. Very little alcohol goes to your breast milk.

No need to pump and dump as well.

I’m 22 months breastfeeding.

What kind of drink

How much

Rule of thumb. Safe to drive... Safe to feed.

Just a glass of something at apple bees not sure what yet. The nurse at my doctor's office told me to wait 8 hours after drinking before feeding but I think thats kind of excessive for 1 drink.. 🤷‍♀️

@sourpatchmama96, 8 hours?? No way. That’s silly. If you’re super concerned you can get test strips on amazon to test your breastmilk but one drink should be fine. And like she said above, safe to drive ok to nurse

Like whiskey i could understand but a wine cooler or something that's a bit extreme.

Nurses and doctors aren't educated on breastfeeding. You're best asking a lactation consultant

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
