What Quake doctors they must be.
Sorta reminds me of the 80’s/90’s when Drs would tell their breastfeeding patients that they couldn’t get pregnant while nursing.
I already posted the CDC link. You think they’re quacks?

Look: Each person is unique.
So no one rule for everyone can apply.
Meaning all of us metabolize alcohol at much different rates.
It all varies from person to person.
Therefore experts cannot determine exactly how much or even how long liquor stays within one’s body.
There are no hard + fast laws.
Since that is the case, it is better to err on the side of caution & simply cease drinking (even socially!) when in the nursing stage.
Being a parent takes sacrifice and responsibility.
If one cannot substance from drinking for a year or so - -
This does not bode well for a healthy baby.
Babies change dramatically during their first year of life.
Why take the chance that a baby may suffer physiological effects by allowing anything to pass into your milk supply.
Some parents eat healthier, take more vitamins, etc. during this delicate time.
What’s next??
People are going to say smoking is okay while nursing?
SMH.

So breastfeeding Mothers should be able to consume alcohol and it is okay....??!
EVERYthing a Mother consumes flows into her milk supply.
Some Mothers refrain from onions, spicy foods & caffeine while nursing.
Those that drink liquor while nursing are only setting their baby up for learning disabilities, health issues, etc.
Since what a Mother consumes so easily into her breast milk, many doctors do not prescribe certain medications if a patient is nursing.
So why are some medications not okay - yet alcohol is??!
