Alcohol

Now that baby girl is here, I'm looking forward to having wine again! I haven't yet due to sheer exhaustion, but am wondering what's best...since I'm EBF

Pump and dump? Getting those milk test strips? Timing it so the alcohol will have left my system by the next feeding?

*apologizes if this has already been discussed. Searching which mobile bumping sucks*

    One of the LCs at the hospital told me that a glass of wine/beer is okay (and even encouraged) and is safe as long as you have 2-3 hours before your next pump/feed :)

    We did have a thread awhile back but I'm also mobile so can't find it, boo! The BF class we took said not to bother with the strips as they are WAY too sensitive. And like @KatieOz920‌ mentioned is definitely okay to have a glass here and there. Essentially if you're okay to drive your okay to BF I believe. I think they recommend having the drink just before you feed or shortly thereafter so that by the next feed it's worked it's way out. @lissydee‌ or @AmyG*‌ do either of you remember the thread with all the helpful information?
