I went out for dinner & drinks on Friday night. This was my first drink since giving birth 12 weeks ago. I'm not a big drinker & only really drink when I go out.
My DD has consistently slept from 7pm-4-5am for several weeks now so I wasn't worried. I enjoyed 1 glass of wine and 2-3 glasses of prosecco (maybe more maybe less and my glass just kept getting topped up so I wasn't finishing a glass then pouring a new one.) I wasn't planning on drinking this much but as I knew my DD wouldn't be up until 4am and I was going to try her with expressed milk anyway then I didn't worry too much.
I then got a call at midnight from my OH telling me she had woken up & wouldn't take the expressed milk. I had to get a taxi home & feed her as soon as I was in. My last drink was probably 20-30 mins before I got home.
I've spent all weekend feeling really guilty. I was a bit hungover not too bad but just felt a bit off. I feel so bad for leaving her in the first place when she clearly needed me to settle her. And then I worry about the damage alcohol could do to her. Can anyone give me any reassurance
