I'm going to a wedding reception on Sunday. I'm going to pump twice to keep up supply, and I would like to have a few cocktails. LO still wakes up in the middle of the night. Should I feed him then or wait until morning? I worry easily and often for no reason. So I'm wondering what your drinking/BF rule is?
Re: Drinking/BF?
I was told by the LC in the hospital that drinking was fine as long as you waited 4 hours after drinking before you fed LO again.
EDIT: Whoops! Wrong number... 2 hours not 4.
four hours for each drink?

I've heard the same.

I don't think you're crazy. I didn't have a drink till I was 24 because my father is an alcoholic and he assured me I would become one, too. It took me a long time to realize that I could have a drink here or there without becoming an alcoholic.

Hmm... Idk sorry! Btw I just saw that I hit the wrong #... it was 2 hours not 4! I'm going to go edit my post now.
This. Those strips are awesome. A little pricey but worth it!
Ok to drive, ok to bf. H is a pedi and says even if a tiny bit of alcohol is in the milk, at worst baby will be sleepy. That's not an excuse to overdo it, just permission not to over-worry.
Me too. Addiction is on my husband's side. I have had one glass of wine in 8 weeks and then didn't pump until the next morning. Not crazy at all. It's a genuine concern.
Absolutely. Vodka works too
