They say if you feel the alcohol at all that it’s in your milk. I would pump or feed then have a few drinks and if was 2/3 hours later and I had had more than 2
Drinks I would pump and dump. But I always had a stash of milk so that’s easier said than done for others who may not have extra milk to spare

I have extra milk in my freezer but I'm so hesitant on having drinks with friends as I don't want my baby in taken any of it but people also said I can test the milk with strips before feeding but I'm not really sure if that's actually accurate to be able to do!

They do say you can test with strips, I never did that I thought it was a waste of money, I was just more comfortable pumping and dumping.

I’ve been told my friends that are moms and doctors or nurses that alcohol transfer to milk is negligible and it’s fine to drink as long as you don’t get black out
