One drink and breastfeed?

[lllnelson]

Can I have one Malibu and still breastfeed?

Yes of course. As a general rule of thumb as long as you don't drink so much that you can no longer care for your baby then it's fine.

Yep, the head of infant feeding at the hospital I gave birth in said that if you're sober enough to safely hold a baby then you're sober enough to breastfeed. Enjoy your drink!

You can have more than 1 if you want!

YABU to drink Malibu

It's fine.

No it's not fine.

You should be having at least 2! If you are breastfeeding you have most likely earned it.

Definitely. I frequently have one or two glasses of wine. I make sure to have lots of water too. I never get "drunk" as I would be too worried about not waking or being able to look after baby.

Absolutely! Have more than one! As long as you're able to hold and care for baby you're usually fine. Plus no need to pump and dump either

You'll be fine. Don't drink an entire bottle of malibu, and don't drink every single night. Other than that, the risk is absolutely tiny.

Just make sure the baby sleeps in a cot, never ever co-sleep after even a small amount of alcohol.

Malinu is vile

As long as you are conscious, you can have as much as you want. Malibu is pretty awful stuff though.

Not unless it’s 1996 and you are 15.

Fine for the baby though!

So pleased there were sensible responses on this thread! Hope you enjoyed your Malibu and had a second!

I think the advice that if you are sober enough to safely hold your baby you are sober enough to feed is good and would also apply if you were ff.

Fine to have more than one drink as everyone has said. You've made me fancy a Malibu and coke like when I was a teenager though
