breastfeeding question

I hope no one judges me for this question but here it is! Im going to breastfeed but there will come a time or two that my bf and i will eventually go out just the two of us and treat ourselves to a drink. how long do i wait until i can breastfeed again? Or do i have to dump that milk no matter what?

Also just a note pumping and dumping after does not clean your blood stream any faster.

From what i have read it appears that you should give yourself around 2 hours per drink to let your bloodstream clear. It is a good idea to pump an extra bottle or so before you drink anything to have on hand while your body cleans itself.

You can pump and dump. There are also a trips you can put in your milk to measure your alcohol content.

You may not have to pump and dump PvP enough for baby to have with sitter and then a little extra. Your milk well be clean once your blood stream is clean. But just like 1 glass of wine would even really hurt anything. Best advice ask your pediatrician :-)
