  You should be fine to nurse if you are fine to drive.

  Also, you never have to pump and dump.  Alcohol leaves your breastmilk the same as it leaves your bloodstream.  It doesn't stay in as you sober up.

  Use the two hour rule... 1 drink per 2 hours is fine, anymore than that I pump and dump, give her formula or just use some saved milk.

  I don't feed if I am tipsy, but my DS doesn't take a bottle very well, so I end up feeding him a bit, then doing the bait and switch.  I don't drink anything but beer and wine, but it isn't what you drink, but how much.  I am not a small person, 5'9" and about 150 pounds, and have had 4 drinks over 2 or 3 hours and then fed (units of alcohol) a couple of times.  Just make sure to drink plenty of water and eat as well, so you don't get dehydrated which can really effect your supply.

  Our baby class said if you drink MORE than the equivalent of 1 drink/hour. Personally I would either have only One drink in the evening or pump and dump.
