How many oz. at 5.5% is a "drink"?

Thought I bought regular wine.....so now I am confused as to how much I can have. From 7:15-8:15, I will have had 16 oz. at 5.5%. How long before I can feed her again? We plan on giving her expressed milk for her next feeding in a few hours. I don't know what sources consider "a drink".

I'm no expert on this, but I read somewhere that if you don't feel buzzed you're probably fine to BF. Some people metabolize alcohol better or worse than the 2 hours per drink rule. I would tend to think by the next feeding after giving expressed milk you should be fine as long as you don't still feel significantly buzzed.

Sorry I was lurking and say your post. I can't tell you how long to wait before BFing but here is the size info for different types of alcohol: https://rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/WhatCountsDrink/WhatsAstandardDrink.asp
