I know this has been asked before... but do those alcohol test strips work? (the ones you use to test breast milk)

    A few weeks back this topic came up and I believe a few people had said they used them.  I have not used them personally.  HTH

    I used one on a bottle of milk I was unsure about...  I was going to toss it, but tested it just to see what it said.  It "failed".  I had had two beers- but without eating and I felt slightly buzzed....

    I'm curious of this too, I was going to pick some up!  I haven't had anything to drink yet, but I am looking forward to it soon.  Can you just get them at Target?

    I use them and they definately work. I haven't tested positive after 2 beers, but everyone's metabolism is different. That's why I use them. In fact, I need to get another box before this weekend, since I plan on drinking profusely at a bonfire on Saturday night. When I drink more than just a couple of beers, I pump and dump, and will test with a strip again before I resume BFing in the morning.

    EDIT- They sell tham at Target and BRU

    I've always pumped and dumped.

    The BFing book that I read said that you don't need to pump and dump b.c your BM doesn't hold alcohol, but don't feed until at least an hour of feeling sober.  I will buy the strips as an extra precaution, but thought this might help.
