Wine for BF mom?

Through a series of miscommunications, DH and I ended up in my familys Christmas exchange.  I got my cousins wife who I see maybe 3 times a year.  I was thinking about getting her a bottle of wine but I know she is BF.  Now I know you can drink alcohol while BF but I'm wondering if most people do this or I should just get her something else?

Re: Wine for BF mom?

  • MY thought is how can you go wrong with wine for a new mom! I am sure that would be the best gift she can get! In all seriousness though, I BF still and will have a glass of wine and just make sure to have at least two hours before I feed next.
  • I, personally, would love it.  Is there any way you can be sneaky and figure out if she has had any wine while she has been BFing?  If you can't figure it out, I might go for something else... a pedicure maybe?

  • i would be very happy with a bottle of wine. ?the LC where i work got me a half bottle of champagne for my shower so that DH and i could celebrate when we got home from the hospital.
  • I bf'd and still drank wine (and other alcohol- gasp). However, I was surprised to see that a friend of mine who is nursing told me she is not drinking at all until she is done bf'ing. I didn't think people were that strict about it. I would think you'd be okay.
