There are many things to talk
about breastfeeding and alcohol and that some increase milk production, others
decrease and to what extent, it is good to take them in moderation. So here you
are commented some facts and answers on this subject.
One of the most common questions
is whether the baby may be affected, if the mother drinks wine or beer. The
answer is that everything depends on how much alcohol and the time you drink.
alcohol levels in blood and milk are usually highest about an hour and a half
after the last drink , although these levels vary from person to person.
A glass of wine or cocktail from
time to time does not affect a nursing baby or interfere with milk production
in the long term. Some studies show that babies drink less milk if the mother
has recently drunk alcohol.
So if you are going to drink an
occasional drink, wait at least two hours per drink before giving the milk to
the baby, so give him a chance to dissipate alcohol. Alcohol is not stored in
breast milk, so dump it out a bit and will not do anything. Also remember to
take a soft drink for each alcohol to prevent dehydration.
On the side of popular myth that
a glass of beer a day increases milk production has no scientific evidence to
support it. More than a century, it was believed that beer was used as a tonic
for nursing mothers, but today we know that the key to having enough milk is a
nutritious diet.
