I drank what I've now worked out to be 7 units of alcohol last night. I stopped drinking at 11pm, fed 5 month old baby briefly at 1am and for a long time at 4am. I am really hungover.
The context: it was my birthday; I didn't drink a drop in pregnancy and only thimbles of wine occasionally since. I had expressed milk for the 4am feed and baby.doesn't usually wake before then but she was up and refusing the bottle when I got in. She's the easiest baby in the world so I foolishly assumed she'd take the bottle of ebm but she didn't, despite my and the very experienced babysitter's best efforts.
I feel terrible. I think the golden rule is that you should treat bf like driving but I've researched and I wouldn't have been fit to drive until about 7am this morning so shouldn't have bf until then.
