BF moms: When did you have your 1st adult beverage?

His-N-Hers · July 2010

We are EBF and DS feeds every 2-3 hours. It has been two weeks since he arrived and I still haven't had an alcoholic beverage. It just seems like more trouble than it is worth to time it.

I still haven't had one either... and boy I could have used one the other day!!!

laurieb602 · July 2010

4 Weeks. I had one drink

mama_duck · July 2010

Our pedi recommended me having a beer a day...

Hey! Doctor's orders!

I have had champagne after DD goes to sleep. soooo good! Having some tonight! Champagne and a nice hot tub soak... awesome!

My brother's wedding was Friday- I had 1/2 a drink :-) My baby is 3 weeks old.

My doc says "a beer a day make the milk stay." So I have a beer every other day or so before bed. Sure enough I wake up and my boobs are HUGE!

dcunningham2 · July 2010

still haven't, but i rarely drink anyway.

dangerkitty102 · July 2010

I had a Sam Adams at dinner when he was about 2 weeks old and it was quite possibly the best thing I have ever tasted.

Doctors say it's fine to have a drink while BFing, just don't overdo it.

I still haven't had one, but I could use one, lol! We will probably have a Labor Day party which will put her at just over 2 mos old, I may have one then... I will feel more comfortable once we get into more of a routine or she sleeps in longer stretches during the night

laurasue · July 2010

Around two weeks or so. And I have one two times a week or so with dinner. It's so nice!

Adrienne4.11 · July 2010

had some wine when he was 3 days old, but only because he had to stay an extra night in the hospital due to jaundice, so I technically was not BF that night. I'll probably wait until I go back to work and start pumping before having anything else.

JessBen · July 2010

I had a wine cooler last night (DS 11days old). It was right after I nursed him

Brewtowngrl · July 2010

day 4 I had 2 beers. I will have a drink or two about 2 days a week. Having a drink by 9am sounds good some days. My 2 year old is acting 2:)

allyandpat2010 · July 2010

stgn01 · July 2010

After my 6 week PP appt on July 4th weekend. I started getting tipsy off 1/2 a glass of wine. It was kinda funny. I've only had one drink since then. And I was a big drinker before I got pregnant with DD.

epona3 · July 2010

A week or so, I think. I've had the odd beer or glass of wine here and there since then. None of the "hard stuff" or in any amounts that would affect my milk, though.

ncwarren · July 2010

After the first week I had a glass of wine. Your body don't absorb all the alcohol so a drink or two won't hurt your baby. Just don't get drunk...

luna49 · July 2010

about 2 hours after she was born (Champagne in the hospital.)

I have a glass of wine at night probably 5-6 nights per week. Doc said this is just fine.

IrishBrideND · July 2010

day 5. It was Easter. I had a glass of wine right after I nursed her.

I cant' say that I have ever heard this, but hey, if it works..I may have to try. I wonder if wine is the same, cause I am not a beer drinker, but I do love wine. I have yet to have a drink since DS2 was born. He will be 2 wks tomorrow!!
