AIBU for having some wine while breastfeeding?

Am I a terrible person?
Is it ok to have a wine after the last breastfeed of the day?
Is it ok to have two wines?
Really doubting myself.

Of course it's fine.

It's a myth you can't drink and breastfeed.

It's fine.
You'll probably get some pearl clutching responses. But it's seriously fine.

You can have the whole bottle and it not be a problem for nursing - you really, really don't need to worry about it and you certainly don't have to pump and dump.

The amount of alcohol you'd need to consume to affect your baby, would kill you or put in you a coma before that point.
I used to have a wine whilst I was nursing, its completely ok.

I’ve even been known to be drinking a glass of wine in the pub whilst BF. Totally fine and I would say often a requirement for the sake of your sanity.

This actually links the studies that show it's fine!!

Nah you’re fine, have two! Just don’t co-sleep after a drink.
