breastfeeding and drinking?
On occasion (1-2 time a month if that, last drink was in Nov) I have a glass of red/white wine with my dinner. BEFORE I drink the wine, I breastfeed my baby. After a full feed she is fine for 3.5-4 hours. I don’t know if it matters but I usually buy the wine from a grocery store for about $8-15 lol.
My sister claims I am killing my baby and I am a fool and my baby will have negative effects because of the alcohol. I do not take any medications/pain reliever, not even the kind the drs say is safe. She on the other hand formula fed her baby and is ok giving her junk food full of sugar.
I am thinking about buying those strips and testing myself to show her the results to prove my case. What do you guys think?? Am I a bad mother?
IF anyone has the math on the metobolic rate, Im 5’8 and 160lbs and wear size 29 jeans.
The alcohol in your breastmilk is the same as the alcohol in your blood, so if you are impaired, you should not nurse until you feel better. Of course, you shouldn’t care for a baby, either, if that is the case.
it is not necessary to buy a special kit to test the alcohol in your breastmilk. if you feel fine, you’re okay to nurse. If not, wait until you do. It’s that easy.
As for your sister, stop telling her. It’s no more her business than what she feeds her child is yours.
