Hi All
I have searched the Archives for references on Alcohol consumption while breastfeeding but I havent found any. I have read that a moderate to heavy alcohol consumption can interfere with the let down reflex. poor weight gain , and interferes with prolactin levels.
I have also read that it takes up to 3 hours for it to be eliminated from the sytem, if a women wanted to social drink would she need to express and dump her expressed milk if her baby was going to feed before the 3 hours???
Thankyou in anticapation of your input
Sincerely
