Some moms have been waiting through pregnancy to imbibe, or they are
planning to attend an event where they anticipate that they will be drinking
some amount of alcohol. How many moms have thought that they should stop
breastfeeding/wean just because of these infrequent occasions? Too many.
I'm not sure that a lab value measurement of alcohol is necessary in most
instances/situations.
Re Alcohol intake/use: How about telling expectant and new moms this:
"If you are "tispy", your breastmilk is tipsy, don't breastfeed during
that time, wait till you sober-up, the milk in your breast will sober-up also,
.....if you are *drunk* your breastmilk is drunk also, you may need help
to pump and dump if your breast are full/uncomfortable, ...a sober
care-taker should feed the baby sober milk that you pumped previously"
