A rare New Year's Eve goes without champagne, but can a nursing mother afford a few sips?
First of all, of course, let us remind you the main rule - alcohol and breastfeeding cannot be combined.
Now let's understand the nuances!Milk is produced on the basis of the mother's blood and lymph, so everything in the blood goes into the milk. Alcohol is no exception, moreover, ethyl alcohol begins to be absorbed into the blood immediately, already in the oral cavity, and then through the walls of the stomach and intestines.
If alcohol was drunk, then it will also be in milk.
Will this affect the child?
Here it is impossible to say for certain, it depends on the age of the child, his state of health.
Of course, the younger the baby, the more dangerous the alcohol in milk will be.
The peak blood alcohol concentration is reached 40 minutes after drinking wine.Breastfeeding experts definitely do not advise nursing mothers to consume alcohol in any form or in any quantity. They remind that alcoholic beverages should be excluded in the first days of a baby's life; you should also be careful with carbonated drinks - they can provoke colic in a child.
If it so happens that you had to drink, do everything possible to ensure that this alcohol is of high quality, and postpone the feeding for 4-5 hours.
You can drain the milk even before the wine is drunk.
