Breastfeeding and Buck's Fizz?

[lizzyttc2017]

Would I be okay to have a glass of Buck's Fizz and it not affect my milk?

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Yes it's fine. There's a lot of evidence that as long as you aren't too pissed to hold the baby it's fine to breastfeed.

Completely fine. More than one would also be fine.

Best time to have a drink is when you’re actually feeding - the milk the baby is drinking has already been made and then it’s the longest gap until the next feed.

Absolutely fine. Enjoy!

Yep. Rule of thumb - if you'd be Ok to drive, your ok to feed.

I remember reading that if you drank so much your blood alcohol reached fatal levels, your milk would still only be about as alcoholic as orange juice.

If you’re sober enough to hold your baby, you’re sober enough to breastfeed them. Breast milk is made from your blood, a blood alcohol level of even 0.5% (the alcohol percentage of a weak shandy) would be fatal and yet your blood and therefor milk would be hardly alcoholic at all.

I don’t agree with the rule of thumb, especially with Scottish drink driving laws (can’t drink anything and drive).

Fill your boots - the only risk to your baby of you getting pissed is dropping them!

It's fine to drink alcohol and breastfeed where on earth did you get the idea it wasn't?

It's not a good idea to drink alcohol and cosleep though.

Definitely fine
