Is a glass of alcohol okay to drink if im still breastfeeding my 9 month old?

Yes of course.. pump and dump is not advised anymore.. the amount of alcohol that actually ends up in breastmilk is really really tiny.. as long as you are not drunk and you are sober enough to hold/look after baby you are ok to go :) x

CDC says you can have a standard drink and feed baby 2hrs later. Drinking too much obviously can expose baby to alcohol. But like said above, I've heard it takes alot to be effective for baby. But for piece of mind I normally follow CDC guidelines.

It's not that pumping and dumping isn't advised it's that there's no point according to research. Just cause you pump and dump doesn't make your milk magically ok cause your body is constantly producing milk and whatever is in your blood stream is in your milk. So you can pump and dump for hours and still have alcohol content until it's out of your bloodstream which is not until your basically sober. But if you need to pump for engorgment reasons you can just freeze and use for baths. There's no reason to "dump" just not drink.

I always keep milk in the freezer incase I want more drinks and have to do bottle. But that's cause I'm an overthinker

My cousin is a doctor and she said you could quite happily have 1 glass of wine/ 2 beers and still breastfeed 😊

Just wait 2 hours before breastfeeding. I honestly waited til my child was 1 year old. To start drinking because it was more of a hazzle and seeing my child cry from hunger was not worth it if you were exclusively breastfeeding. I didn't want to take the risk even small because I knew I'd blame myself if my child ended up with a mental delay or disability. I'd always think was it that time I drank. Idk just me though.
