Can I Drink A Beer While Breastfeeding A Newborn

Answer from elizabeth lafleur r n.
Breast feeding and alcohol don t mix well. Episodic consumption of alcoholic beverages will not affect breastfeeding and will not harm the baby. Therefore if you really want a beer you can drink a little. Generally moderate alcohol consumption by a breastfeeding mother up to 1 standard drink per day is not known to be harmful to the infant especially if the mother waits at least 2 hours after a single drink before nursing.
Many experts recommend against drinking more than 1 2 drinks per week. Dark hoppy beers are commonly touted as being a natural remedy for enhancing milk supply but how much evidence is there to back these milk boosting claims. During the four hours after a breastfeeding mother consumes an alcoholic beverage such as 4 ounces of wine one mixed drink or one can of beer babies who nurse consume about 20 percent less milk. Non alcoholic beer contains 0 5 1 5 alcohol.
However during lactation you should strictly follow these rules. Remember that small amounts of alcohol move into breast milk when you drink an alcoholic beverage and as your body metabolises the alcohol the amount in your breast milk will also decrease. The aap also suggests waiting two hours to breastfeed after having a drink. Wait 2 hours after a drink to breastfeed your baby.

It is recommended that you drink non alcoholic rather than alcoholic beer because alcohol travels to breast milk and blood. The american academy of pediatrics aap recommends that nursing moms avoid alcohol with the possible exception of the occasional small drink. The alcohol will clear from your breast milk just as it clears from your bloodstream. When you drink alcohol it passes into your breast milk at concentrations similar to those found in your bloodstream.
