Lactnetters,
I know that we do not know if alcohol and bf are compatible and what, if any,
levels are safe long-term.  In a bf class,  I do not want to be the one to
say alcohol is OK. Although, personally, I would be very comfortable having a
beer or another drink and bf my own.  But I do not want moms to think that
they cannot bf if they do consume it occassionally and in moderation.  What
do you say exactly in a prenatal bf class when this is discussed?  I am
looking for appropriate statements to say in class.  Some moms ask should
they pump and dump after consuming some alcohol.  do you all recommend this?

Thanks,
