Parenting

leaving aside everything else, THIS IS A MYTH:

> Mama had drank wine. 
> Milk was tainted. 
> Not suitable for baby anyway.

the alcohol in breastmilk is equivalent to your BAC (b/c breastmilk is made out of the mother's blood). even if you're quite drunk your BAC equates to a negligible amount of alcohol when consumed by a third party (the baby). it's equivalent to the level of alcohol in, like, orange juice. if you can find the baby, you can feed the baby!

note that this is NOT true of weed, which is concentrated in breastmilk because THC binds to fat. weed + breastfeeding = no

Thanks for clearing this up! It's crucial to understand the different effects substances can have on breastfeeding.
