Hi All, I had five glasses of wine yesterday between lunchtime and 10pm.

Have mostly stopped bf but am still expressing 2-3x a day. Normally don't drink like that but it was a party.. So, I didn't express before bed last night but got 6oz this morning. Question is, will it have too much alcohol in it for my precious boy and will I have to chuck it?

Also, how many bottles of water are you all giving? My lo is 12 weeks.

Thanks!

Your milk will be fine! You would have driven this morning I assume? (Although I have bf when I've had a little too much to drive, but that was when LO much older - not sure how much that mtters)
Is he fed exclusively on ebm then? On demand, or to a schedule?

No, he gets 2-3 ebm a day, rest is formula for the past 2 weeks. He is number 3, has reflux and I have two naughty boys to shout at/put on the naughty step which upset him when he was exclusively bf off me - so, ebm and formula it is now. On a reasonable routine now which helps!

Thanks for the advice.

Was just wondering whether you were expressing because of pain or something.
Your life sounds hectic! Bumping so you hopefully get an answer to the water question.

they dont need any extra water unless they are constipated, it is really hot or they have started solids. My ds was bottlefed and never got extra water till he started solids at 5 1/2 months.
