  you can buy alcohol test strips at costco for $8.  this is what i do when i want to enjoy a drink(s).

  but i can tell you without test strips that one glass of wine (or even 2) with dinner is perfectly fine.

  I will have a drink (very small. 3-4 oz wine, or 1/2 bottle of beer) right after I breastfeed occasionally. that give my body time to process it.

  I have a glass of wine almost every night. Go for it. Sometimes I even have 2 . . . gasp!

  i've heard the best time to have a drink is right after nursing so it has enough time to get out of your system. but just one glass is all i would have. i haven't had any yet b/c i'm so paranoid too.

  There is no reason to be paranoid.  If you're drunk, you shouldn't nurse.  If you're not tipsy, it's absolutely fine to nurse.  It's just like your blood alcohol level.

  Apparently the doll needed a time out...

  If you shouldn't drive, wait to BF. If you are safe to drive then feel free to BF.

  I was paranoid about alcohol so I asked the pedi and LC about it. Both said that I could have a drink (martini no less) and still BF. They said as long as I could drive, I could BF.
