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
