Because they is ZERO RISK.
"A review of 41 studies in the journal Basic + Clinical Pharmacology + Toxicology states that “even in a theoretical case of binge drinking, the children would not be subjected to clinically relevant amounts of alcohol [in the breastmilk]"

If you want to abstain that's totally fine and your choice! But the science is the science.

Literally having a glass of wine and nursing as I write this.

Wow. You sound like an alcoholic.

How so? That was how my ob explained it to me as a way of explaining how much alcohol was acceptable. I feel fine driving after one glass of wine, ergo I feel fine breastfeeding after that as well. Where did I say anything to indicate more than that?
