Thanks. My son is 16mo so although I fully appreciate the no co sleeping comment (and he sleeps in his cot unless ill and I am unlikely to drink when he is poorly) he is more likely to kick or push me out of bed or lay on me than the other way around š I have never known anyone shuffle so much in their sleep!!
My midwife said that if you were sober enough to hold the baby, you were sober enough to feed the baby. I thought this was reasonable advice š obviously the usual caveat applies though - cosleeping is not safe if you've had a drink, but otherwise, enjoy!
The reality is that you can quite safely drink considerably more than the legal driving limit. As long as you arenāt cosleeping and arenāt getting senseless then there is absolutely nothing to be about.
I have a happy memory of feeding a three week old dd in a pub while sipping on a glass of wine. I was being watched by a curious and impressed young woman.
Great thanks. In my mind its as you say, the same as driving, so it wouldn't matter if I drank a couple of glasses every night based on the fact its long gone before DS is feeding again. I hate judgy people
Of course itās fine. Even if feeding more frequently, itās fine once established. As you say a glass or two of a decent Chablis is heavenly after a long week and isnāt going to make you senseless.
It's COMPLETELY fine and would be fine even if it wasn't nearly 24 hours. Alcohol gets into your milk at the same rate as your blood. The legal drink drive limit on your blood is way below the cut off for non-alcoholic beer (0.5%).
So DS has one feed a day at bedtime. I know alot of people dont agree with drinking alcohol whilst bfeeding but surely a couple of drinks after hes gone to sleep is fine seeing as it will be a whole 24 hours before the next feed...as long as you are capable of looking after them of course
