    I was out last night and had way too much to drink. Obviously didn't BF her this morning but am trying to decide if I can give her a BF at 2pm instead of a bottle. I stopped drinking around 1am so it should be out my system by then shouldn't it? Or does it depend on how much I actually drank?

    Anyone any ideas?

    Oh and I am never drinking again - I forgot how hellish hangovers were Ick!

  • Re: BFing and alcohol!

    IMO you will be fine to BF at 2. The alcohol should be well out of your milk then (IIFC the alcohol is removed from your milk at the same rate as it is removed from your blood)

    I'm sure I read somewhere that you need to allow 1 hour per unit to get it out of your system.

    I always took the line that if I wasn't feeling drunk/tipsy, I'd be ok to feed.

    I had a mind once, now I have small children.

  • Re: BFing and alcohol!

    I think you'll be fine. I'm going out on Friday night and will start feeding at roughly the same time as you on the saturday. I'll express some of the milk off first though so it's 'new' stuff IYSWIM?

    Sorry but Laugh  Hope you're feeling better soon.

    I also think you'll be fine to feed this afternoon.
