Breastfeeding And Wine

should i pump and discard until then. need to know so i can pump enough for her before i drink. thanks

Alcohol that you drink will enter your breast milk, but it is metabolized from breast milk at the same rate as it is metabolized from your blood. In general that is about 1 drink per hour with one drink defined as 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1 oz of hard liquor (so for example a long island iced tea would count as multiple drinks). Peak levels are reached about 60-90 minutes after consumption and then decrease. For a single glass of wine you would be able to drink following a feeding and then be able to nurse again at the next feeding. If you think there will still be alcohol in your system at the time of the next feeding you can pump enough ahead of time to replace the feeding with a bottle. There is no need to pump and dump to remove alcohol from your breast milk. The only reasons to pump and dump would be to maintain supply or alleviate engorgement.
