Go to walgreens or cvs and they sell strips to test your milk for alcohol, that way you dont end up throwing away perfectly good milk :)
Great!!! I didn't know that. Have you used them before?
It actually disappears from your milk much faster then you would think. Do the strips! You might not even have to dump anything.
My lactation nurse told me to pump and dump twice after I was done drinking (and I was pumping every two hrs).
Yep, i breastfed my last for 18 months they aren't cheap, but to me well worth it since I had such a hard time pumping.
Oh & that was if I actually drank enough to get a "buzz" she said once is enough if I just had one or two drinks. It doesn't affect your milk like you think. Have fun!
Thank you, thank you! I'm excited to have some adult time :). I will be buying some of those strips tonight!
Your body metabolizes about 1,drink per hour so after you stop drinking just pump and dump for a few hours and you should be good
And Mama we'd never judge you for that! You are certainly not the only one that wants to enjoy a nice drink I can promise you that.
They are saying now that once the effects of alcohol wear off its no longer in your milk the same as your blood so you should be good the very next morning but the strips will ease your mind I'm sure.
Your not doing anything wrong hun.... at least your responsible enough to find out how to keep your baby safe after having a couple of drinks.
