Hi all...

after talking with yet one more mom on the subject of alcohol and pumping and
dumping, I thought I'd write and get the collective wisdom of oh say 700 other
professionals!

Question: how long does "stuff" stay in a mothers milk...?

If a mother drinks a beer, does the alcohol show up in the milk as soon as it is
in the blood stream, and does it leave the milk like it does the blood.  Or is
it in the milk until the breasts are "emptyied"? What about food? How long does
it take for different foods to affect breast milk?

thanks
