One beer?

Do you wait to breastfeed after having a beer or two? If so how long?

Here is some good info:

I think the general consensus is 1.5 to 2 hours per drink. Either way, have a beer mama! Enjoy it.

One drink over a long period (like, it often takes me an hour to drink a beer), I don't worry about.

I'm having a beer right now. I only have one a day when I have one, but I don't worry about it.

If I have a beer I try and drink it right after my LO ate. That way it will be at least 2 hours before she needs to eat and I don't have to worry about her getting anything not good for her

I had an insane craving for a drink when DD was a couple of weeks old.  I ended up getting some O'douls (0.5%) because I was still really nervous about it.  It fixed the craving... It was such a long time since I drank alcohol that I didn't know how a regular strength drink would have affected me (sometimes I can feel only one drink).  I tried non-alcoholic wine at a wedding, but it tasted terrible.

I think now that she is not feeding as frequently, I'd drink a regular beer or glass of wine, but no more than one in a day...and probably after she had gone to bed for the night.  From my understanding the general rule is 1 per day and wait 1-2 hours before feeding, like PPs said.
