Do you feel bad drinking whilst taking care of your baby?

as long as you can still care for your baby there’s no need to feel guilty. personally my limit is how much i can drink and still be able to legally drive. if i can drive, i can care for my baby. i’ll only ever get intoxicated if there are other people i know will take care of him, and i’ll never get wasted around him no matter what. maybe when he’s an adult but idk i still don’t like seeing my mom super drunk even as an adult.

I went out for longer than expected and had many drinks but came home and was able to care for my baby and deal with night feeds (formula) and then be up in the morning. As long as you feel stable and can rightfully take care of your baby I wouldn't feel bad

3mo baby is still so littttle I feel like the enjoyment of drinking would be less just from how exhausted I would be.
There’s nothing wrong if you’re responsible and can care for your baby.

My only issue is if something happened would I be able to get my kids to where I need to go. I won’t even drive after one drink. (I had a friend die from being hit by a drunk driver who swore she only had 2 drinks)

As it’s just me I haven’t had a drink in 3 years because of this worry 😅

For me personally, I don’t want to have anything that would inhibit my ability to care for my baby. Especially, if an emergency happened. I want to be fully cognizant while around my baby. I’m not sure what time of day you are drinking, but if it’s in the evening and baby is sleeping through the night, and or you have a partner that is not drinking at the time, I say go for it as you have a coherent person available if anything were to happen. Otherwise, I say get a babysitter and fully enjoy yourself while not being responsible to care for your baby for a bit.

By the title I thought you meant like in a family meeting or a reunion or something, not you alone at home… I feel that sounds a bit like a problem. Why do you feel the need to drink in a regular day by yourself? Not judging just worried that there could be an issue going on.

Me and my husband sometimes gad one drink with our dinner for " date nights" at home one LO was in bed but i never drunk more then that there should always be a parent or carer sober to look after kids

I don’t drink and drive, so if I’m alone with him or without my husband I will not drink. Bc I want to make sure if there is an emergency I can always drive to where I need to go. On date nights we may have 1 or 2. If I’m around close family that I know are just as responsible I will have some. But never allow myself to get to where I’m unable to take care of him myself, and I always make sure there is a safe way incase of an emergency that he can get to where he needs to go. ♥️
