"Recommendations for Clinical Practice:
If alcohol is used, advise the lactating woman to limit her intake to no
more than 0.5 g of alcohol per kg of maternal body weight per day.
Intake over this level may impair the milk ejection reflex. For a 60-kg
(132-lb) woman, 0.5 g of alcohol per kg of body weight corresponds to
approximately 2 to 2.5 oz of liquor, 8 oz of table wine, or 2 cans of
beer."
