So breastfeeding moms I have a question.... me and my fiance is wanting to go out. Am I able to drink? Do I have to wait so many hours to feed after?
Dont pump and dump. Save for a milk bath, rash, or baby acne. If you can hold baby safely you are good to feed. I usualy feed first then drink wait until the next feed in 4 hours. I hydrate more as well. I would either pump and save for the next feed or limit my drinks. The danger is the mother might harm the baby if she is too intoxicated. Hope this helps.
If you can drive you can nurse. You can have two drinks and be fine. A lactation consultant told me that.
I was given this info when I asked the same question on a different app.
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. Bottoms up!” "
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.
Good morning ladies. Sorry I been ignoring yall but I have been so miserable the past days I'M STILL PREGNANT my contractions would be strong for hours and it looked like I was gonna have a baby then everything just stopped so I got sent home. they said I have to wait till my appointment Wednesday so I can talk to my doctor about the next step. I HATE THIS 😢😢😩
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Vaginal labor is so easy I would rather take the contractions any day than to have to have a c section
I was told if you can hold your baby safely you can nurse. Supposedly the only issue is possibly dropping your baby if you’re too drunk.
