Re: s/o alcohol and BFing
The best time to have a drink is when you are pumping or nursing as by the next time you feed or pump it will have metabolized.

This. After DS goes down for the night, I pump and then have a beer.

1 beer is not going to hurt your BM....
I usually put LO down to bed have a beer then if I want more I pump then have another! You can buy the strips at Target if you are really concerned, but the LC said one drink (not liquor of course) is not going to matter.
KellyMom is a good reference though!
You ladies saved my night. For that I thank you.
See but vodka tonics would have been immensely helpful this weekend and dealing with my mother.
Sometimes I will have a glass of wine with dinner...which is never the full four ounces...and a guiness after he goes to bed. After the day we had you better believe I had a guiness after bed! But it's at least five hours between bed and his feeding.
