Question on pumping after having some wine/beer

by fsantiago, Jul 24, 2008 07:54AM
I have been breastfeeding,pumping and supplimenting. Yesterday I had a few glasses of wine, when I got home I pumped thinking I was just going to dump what I pumped, but do I have too? I had probably 3 glasses of wine and a beer in a 4-5 hour period. I'm not sure on how that all works and was wanting to know when I should not be giving her my breastmilk...

here is some information on it.

yesterday? you should be fine now!  takes a few hours to get it out of your blood.
giving it to her would only cause stress on her little liver, Please dont

But do you think the milk I pumped yesterday after drinking those few glasses is ok to give her?

did you feel ANY effects of the alcohol right before you pumped. if you had even the slightest buzz, then i would definitely dump it. normally, if it were a glass (maybe 2), i'd say it's ok, but 4 drinks is a lot. plus, i have noticed that when i have a glass of wine, it's never what is actually considered a glass- the size of wine glasses and therefore serving sizes have increased. so the old rule of 1 beer= 1 glass of wine often does not apply. i hate to say it, but i suggest dumping.
