Occasionally is totally fine but I have been reading that alcohol can lessen your milk supply.

The nurses from our baby class told us a good rule of thumb is if you can drive, you can nurse/pump

I was told ever glass of wine or 1 beer equals 2-3 hours before feeding I try to pump as much as I can if I’m having a glass of wine or 2 lol

I drank but always waited the correct amount of time before breastfeeding so enjoy mama

My lactation consultant said if you can find the baby, you can feed the baby LOL. Such a small amount of alcohol transfers through breast milk
