Effects of alcohol on babies
At moderate levels (one drink per day), alcohol has no known complications or side effects for babies, especially if the mother waits two hours after drinking to breast-feed or pump.
Likewise, people ask, how much alcohol actually gets in breast milk?
When a lactating woman consumes alcohol, some of that alcohol is transferred into the milk. In general, less than 2 percent of the alcohol dose consumed by the mother reaches her milk and blood. Alcohol is not stored in breast milk, however, but its level parallels that found in the maternal blood.
Thereof, can I breastfeed while tipsy?
First, your crib sheet to drinking while breastfeeding
Drinking alcohol while breastfeeding is fine, as long as it is occasional and minimal. It’s pointless to pump and dump breast milk. Your supply of fresh milk will simply refill with whatever your current blood alcohol level is.
