**Hello Nikki,
It moves out, but if the mother has full breasts and she has to wait another
three or six hours before her milk is 'clean' (like her blood, after
drinking 1 or 2 glasses), it is definitely worthwile for her to pump en dump
(the alcoholic milk), in order to prevent her from becoming engorged by not
feeding three or six hours. That can be sustained with evidence, because we
know when the alcohol has moved out of blood, so we know it for milk as
well. So pumping and dumping is, in that case, not meant to protect the baby
from ingesting alcohol, but to protect the mother from engorgement and
milkstasis or a sterile mastitis/inflammation resulting from too much
intraductal pressure.
Warmly,
Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands
