    I'm not sure of the amount of time, but my plan for being able to drink while breastfeeding is to pump prior too drinking so baby has milk to drink and then pumping after I drink and just dumping that milk.

    You should be fine, my doctor said 1 hour per drink. Your baby gets alk the essential things and you basically get what is left over. You don't have to be a saint while breastfeeding.

    No it is save to bf 5 days after not one not two days

    Just pump and dump so ur supply won't go low.

    I just went to a lactation class and th consultant said the rule is 2 drinks a week and wait 90 min after consuming the drink! Thn everything is good to go... hope this helps!

    Ive nursed my son for a year and was having trouble with that in the begining so I took lots and lots of breastfeeding classes and also had a bf consultant come to my house once a week for a while and they all said that you can drink as long as its in modaration and if you do drink alot and get buzzed or drunk you just wait till its out of your system then you're safe to bf and baby will totally be ok, so no need to waste your milk and dump...ive also read that in a couple of breastfeeding books.
    So you should be fine.

    1 drink = wait 1 to 2 hours... look up more info on official breastfeeding websites they are soooo much help and loud of good info!

    Its about 1 hours per drink. A drink can be a bottle of beer, a glass of wine (not a giant one) or 1 shot. Its takes an hour for the liver to metabolize the liquor.
