Hey ladies.. I have a question.. My friend is coming over tonight and she usually brings wine and I haven't had any in almost a year! So I was wondering if I could have a glass... Also, if I had to pump and dump, how much are you supposed to pump? And would it be okay to put him on the breast for the next feeding?
One glass should be fine. To limit consumption as much as possible, nurse shortly before consuming, so there is as big of gap as possible between consumption of alcohol and the time you will nurse. Alcohol goes through the body pretty quickly. So even if you do feel a need to pump and dump - you should only need to skip 1 feeding. Unless you are choosing to drink to excess, then you may want to skip a couple feedings.
Definitely don't want to drink in excess.. so I should be fine with one glass then... I'm sure since it's the first drink I will have in long time, it will be enough! :)
