Having a glass of wine and breastfeeding

[Missybaby]

BFing on demand, trying to get into 3 hourly routine at the moment. Usually feed say 6 or 7pm, then have a (well earned and desperately needed) glass of red wine, then feed at 9 or 10pm. Has the alcohol affected the milk supply by then?? If I expressed in the morning and saved this for the late night feed, then expressed off the 10pm feed and chucked it away, would the 2.30am feed then be OK???

Does anyone get what I'm trying to ask/explain here??? Trying not to be too confusing but hope you know what I'm talking about!

check out la leche league site. they have got an FAQ about drinking and breastfeeding that i found very reassuring.

Tee hee noonki, I first read your message 'one bottle from 7pm to 10pm' as an entire bottle of wine!!!??

I try not to get in such a state that I wouldn't be able to look after DS but regularly have more than 1 glass. She is 1 soon and seems fine on it.

well i have had a normal sized glass and 2 small ones today already

FWIW, I haven't been 9 stone since I was about 12 years.

Best reason for chocolate...EVER.
You need to be bigger to drink more alcohol!
RESULT!

Well let's look at it this way - our mum used to dip my big sister's bottle teat in gin every evening to ensure a peaceful night

Right
How does this sound
I am closer to 9 stone than double 9 stone?

Psml at this. Safely reassured that I'm ok having a couple of glasses of wine on my first night out after having first baby!

Glass of wine going down very nicely x

Ps 9 stone?! As if!
