Quick question - can I have a small glass of wine whilst bf tonight? Or not?

[munchkinmum]

Anyone - have been so good for 9 weeks but just fancy a wee glass of wine now....

Yes!

I do.

Why not ?

Yes I did, someone else will be along in a bit with a more technical explanation of why it is ok. (assuming you genuinely mean a glass and not a crate? )

Enjoy it. p.s. afaik the only thing you need to be aware of is if you are b/f and co-sleeping it is not recommended.

You go for it. I drank (moderately!) whilst BFing my 3. Everything in moderation etc. Enjoy!

Absolutely you can. The level of alcohol in your milk is the same as that in your blood, so it's a fraction of a percent.
Don't drink so much you've got a hangover - dealing with babies and a hangover simultaneously is hellish

Yes! ...and enjoy

Marvellous - I'm going to enjoy this!!!!

Thanks all x

Here's the technical info from kellymom.com

Basically, a glass of wine won't affect baby at all, more than two may inhibit your let down, and it's not a good idea to drink every day.

YYYYYYUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy. I spent the first few weeks not touching, apart from first night home when i had a glass of champagne. Then i fugured it was ok once i a while and DD's behaviour never changed as a result.

It tastes nicer when you think you shouldn't too

Meant to say steady on though munchy, that's probably going to go straight to your head in a deliciously whoozy way!

still sober, don't worry! having a small glass v. slowly.

Is deelish.

I have a few if I fancy and always have done - from pregnancy(when I wasn't off it)right through to now. I don't drink loads anyway and as long as people are sensible, there's no reason why not IMO.
