[quote=Anonymous]“...moderate alcohol consumption by a breastfeeding mother (up to 1 standard drink per day) is not known to be harmful to the infant, especially if the mother waits at least 2 hours after a single drink before nursing. However, exposure to alcohol above moderate levels through breast milk could be damaging to an infant’s development, growth, and sleep patterns.”

“Alcohol levels are usually highest in breast milk 30-60 minutes after an alcoholic beverage is consumed, and can be generally detected in breast milk for about 2-3 hours per drink after it is consumed.  ... alcohol from 2 drinks can be detected for about 4-5 hours... blood alcohol levels and the length of time alcohol can be detected in breast milk after drinking will depend on a number of factors, including the amount of alcohol consumed, how fast the alcohol is consumed, whether it is consumed with food, how much a mother weighs, and how fast alcohol is broken down in a mother’s body.”

She’s drinking two shots just before she leaves for a date night.  Unless she’s feeding the baby right after she tosses the shots back, she’s leaving and is probably gone at least 4 hours.

1. The child’s alcohol intake in negligible after 4-6 hours.
2. You aren’t the parent, not your business unless she’s drinking then pumping (and then it’s not your business to tell her what to do, you can either call FPS if she’s endangering the child or just show her a site like cdc).
3. The child’s sleep issues likely to have more to do with the amount of milk the child gets at one time versus alcohol content.  Some kids just can’t get enough milk to sleep more than a few hours.
