I am so excited about going to a friend's wedding next weekend & fully intend to have a few drinks whilst my 17 week old dd spends the afternoon / eve with my mil. She is bf but has ff/ ebm for dream feed & sleeps through. I will have to take pump with me to the wedding to "relieve myself" as it were, but will I be ok to bf the next morning?
Thanks for your advice

You'll be fine as long as you're not necking spirits by the pint, if you can drive you can bf. Have fun Smile

How many drinks is a few?
The breastfeeding counselor I saw reckoned BF after 1 or 2 drinks is OK
I would be happy to BF the next morning after a couple of drinks if it really was just a couple.
If I'd been falling over drunk I'd leave it late the next afternoon.

Very, very little alcohol gets into the milk - it's the same as in your blood.

Alcohol leaves your system at the rate of about a unit an hour.

Personally, I would have 4 or 5 drinks, sleep 8 hours and then feed without worrying. I would also have a couple of drinks and feed straight away though.

Thank you
I am probably such a lightweight at the moment a couple of drinks will be all I can manage!
