You don't need to pump & dump. Only way you need to do that is if you are doing an all night bender or something. Our prenatal classes this year taught us that. I think though that prenatal classes and what is taught depends on who is doing the teaching. I agree with the alcohol limit of 1 or 2 glasses of wine depending on your size, etc.Brewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681564759335149991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179354955591787753.post-80296838253209071282010-05-12T10:32:24.895-07:002010-05-12T10:32:24.895-07:00We were taught to pump and dump LAST Year in our p...We were taught to pump and dump LAST Year in our prenatal class.

Gone is the old pump and dump method or complete abstinence that nursing mothers used because we lacked understanding and research to back us up. I think the safest way to drink, when you are nursing, is to drink like you plan to drive under the legal limit. Which, for most people, would be 1 and maybe 2 glasses of wine over dinner. <br /><br />It is difficult to really know how fast each person metabolizes alcohol in their blood and how much actually ends up in breast milk. If you are a healthy person then you can assume that your liver is working at top speed and so 1-2 glasses of wine over dinner will not be a problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251956834955281101noreply@blogger.com
