lol....no judgment here. i've done it. what I did was i pumped enough for my daughter to have through the night. i was told that there's no need to 'pump and dump" unless you're BURSTING!!! lol...but i just made sure there was enough pumped for the evening and through the night and then by the time it was morning, it was ok for her morning feed. the alcohol DOES get into the breastmilk, but it's quite minimal, so i wouldn't worry about it too much!!! have fun!!! :-) ↑ |
One thing I found that helps with drinking while feeding is to make sure that you still pump at some point you do not want to get engorged and you want to make sure that you are still keeping your milk supply up and ready for use! ↑ |
LOL bmes I didn't read yours first. When I went out drinking and I didn't pump for about 6 hours and thought I would never drink again because I was so overly full. I wouldn't know how to live with going out and having 4 drinks and then waiting all that time! ↑ |
Yay lol thanks ladies! I know a lot of my friends have done it but I wanted make sure it wasn't just them. IM SO excited! ↑ |
I heard that even if you were to just feed them while you were drinking (which I would never do) all it would do is make them drowsy...unless you drank all the time - then it would hurt them. My doctor also said I didnt have to pump and dump because the alcohol leaves the breastmilk just as it would leave your blood so thats cool. Im sooo looking forward to a night out with my girlfriends!! ↑ |
its fine as the ladies said, just have fun!!! :) ↑ |
Ahh, thank you so much ladies!!
You've all really eased my mind a lot...I almost felt guilty for wanting a night out with my friends!!! I feel a lot better about it now! And SO much more excited about it! ↑ |
I already have 6 bottles pumped so I'm almost ready for my big night lol ↑ |
