Wine while BF

[Anonymous]

What’s the easiest way to have one glass? Pump after? Pump and dump?

One glass? Have it whenever you want without another thought. Seriously. If you want to feel even better, drink it while you are nursing—won’t get to your milk until you’re done and will be gone before you nurse again.

2nd all this. I drank.... more than one glass at a time while BFing and my kid seems mostly normal. Drinking while BFing was my MO.

I am not telling how many times I had a small glass of wine in one hand and a nursing baby in the other. It’s probably only a handful per child, but still. It was glorious.

There is never a need to pump and dump. You can google it and read about it. Totally unnecessary.

I just drink normally while BF - my normal being a few drinks on 2-3 nights a week. My mom is a lactation consultant and said the percentage of alcohol is so tiny, it's not worth getting anxious about. The more important thing to consider is whether you've had too much to responsibly handle the baby, i.e. with care and tenderness.

Date nights while baby was still tiny would include ordering a cocktail, then (discreetly) latching babe on before I finished it. It kept us both happy. I have no idea what our servers thought.

This is actually what the instructor at my breastfeeding class officially recommended.

When mine was little I would have a glass as she breastfed the last time before her “long” stretch of sleep on the theory she would be asleep before it hit my bloodstream and gone before she woke up.

If you feel sober enough to drive you're sober enough to breastfeed

I know they say it’s okay but I noticed two things

- When I drank 2 or more drinks my baby didn’t sleep as well and was cranky

- My friend who drank frequently while breastfeeding had a baby who never slept, was always crying and fussy. I think the poor baby was affected by the alcohol and unable to sleep because of it.

Your friends baby could have been affected by any number of things , I doubt the alcohol was the culprit.

This. Why risk your baby’s health?
