Not recommended during lactation.
It may cause excessive sedation, fluid retention, and hormone imbalances in breastfed infants.
Next Steps
With a 1 glass of wine or beer, it is better to wait 2 to 2.5 hours per drink before nursing.
but I dnt recommend even 1 glass.
Health Tips
Alcohol can decrease milk production by disrupting nursing.
