date night

Tomorrow is my and hubby's date night. LO will be with my parents all night. Im going to pump so the have milk to feed him. We will probably end up going to a bar or club and stay out pretty late. Last time I did this I ended up having a few drinks and felt like crap in the morning, I dont drink often. When is it safe to nurse LO again after drinking? How many hours should I give myself to consider my milk safe for him? Last time I ended up getting a bit hung over (hopefully that wont happen this time). If I do get a bit hung over, can I still nurse him in the morning? Thanks!

    Idk the amount of hours, but there's little strips you can buy to test your alcohol level. They sell them in maternity and baby stores and I'm sure you could find them online.

    If you're sober enough to drive, you can nurse. You can definitely nurse the next morning, hangover or not.

    Just a couple of add-ons:

    1) don't waste your money on the test strips.  Every lactation consultant I've spoken with has cautioned against buying them.  They're not accurate and really just play off the fear/insecurities of nursing mothers.  Don't give them your money!

    2) hangovers are often caused by dehydration, because alcohol causes dehydration.  Knowing that you need to be extra hydrated for nursing, you're probably more susceptible to hangovers, so make sure you drink lots of water!  It'll probably make you feel better the next day and help your supply the next day too.

    My LC said 2 to 3 hours after one drink. If you're drinking more than one, I'd wait much longer.
