Alcohol after pregnancy and whilst EBF

Just had a quarter of a glass of Prosecco and I feel so light headed. Poured the rest away. I think I’m ready to accept the non drinker life and designated driver.. felt awful.

Yep same, I don't really enjoy it like I used to.
I'm meant to be going out with friends in a few weeks and baby's staying overnight with my sister so want to be able to enjoy a few drinks and not have to worry about coming home to a baby but I just don't think I'm going to want to drink more than 1!

Yeah I think if I went out I would have one single pink gin and lemonade and that’s it… and always take my car. I just don’t enjoy the feeling anymore.

I went out a few weeks back and had 3 drinks and felt like I could be sick.

What did you do with ebf when you had 3 drinks? I combifeed but will definitely need to pump whilst my son is with my sister as he'll be gone around 18 hours so will need to release. Did you dump the first lot and then save the rest?

I pumped and fed him expressed milk. Then pumped again and dumped. However if I only had one single pink gin I’d probably just feed as normal as only a tiny amount passes through.

Yes I've read the same. Might pump for a few minutes when I get home and dump, then pump in the morning and that batch should be fine. Thanks! 😊
