This. Why risk your baby’s health?

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

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

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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

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.

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