Vino and Nursing
Okay mommas I’m feeling terrible… please don’t mom-shame me. I read from an online resource (I realize now could be unreliable) I could have one glass of wine whether I’m BF’ing or pumping and baby would be fine since the alcohol is so diluted and very unlikely anything passes through. That said, I’ve had a glass of wine on occasion with dinner, and continuing to nurse my 3.5 month old per usual. Is this totally in the wrong?? She’s been completely fine, nothing out of the ordinary.

Yes one glass is fine!!! When I was breast feeding I got nervous too, so I would have one and then pump and dump. But that was def excessive! It just made me feel better, so you could also do that if your supply is good!
Per CDC 1 standard glass of wine is safe! https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/hcp/vaccine-medication-drugs/alcohol.html#:~:text=Alcohol%20consumption%20above%20moderate%20levels,while%20breastfeeding%20is%20not%20recommended.

From my understanding the alcohol content of your breastmilk is the same as the concentration in your blood. Personally I just don't breastfeed if I start to notice myself starting to feel it. I don't have a wild tolerance or anything. If you think it'll give you peace of mind buy alcohol test strips!
