Pumping and alcohol question

It's my birthday this week and a bunch of my friends and I are going out Saturday night. My mom is staying at our house and watching Madyson and I plan on leaving her bottles just in case, however, she should be in bed before I even leave the house. She goes to bed around 8:30 or 9 usually wakes between 1-2 to feed then goes back down til 5 or 6.

I should make sure I have a bottle for the 1-2 oclock feeding even if I am home by then because my breastmilk will have traces of whatever I drank that night right?

So should I also pump around then too if I'm home just to get it out of my system? I should be ok to breastfeed by 5 or 6 though I'd assume.

    I have read that whatever you consume 2-6 hours before (feeding/pumping) is what goes into the breastmilk. I have drank on a couple of different occasions and have pumped and dumped twice and made sure it was at least 8hrs after last drink just to be on the safe side.

    I don't think one night would mess with your supply but I would try to pump with any missed feeding sessions. 

    When DD was that age though I couldn't miss a feeding or a pump cause it hurt so bad.

    From Dr Newman's mouth:

    Alcohol is fine while breast feeding and pumping. Alcohol passes into your bloodstream and the amount that makes it into breast milk is negligible.

    Enjoy.?

    If you're ok to drive, you should be ok to BF.  If you do decide to give a bottle at the 1-2am feeding you may want to pump to keep up your supply and be comfortable.
