Drinking Alcohol occasionally
Can I drink alcohol since breastfeeding my 1 month child. If yes what is the precautions to take. Please suggest. Can I take red wine if it's safe
It is recommended not to drink till 3-5 months , or until the time baby is exclusively breast feeding..
That said, it doesn’t not seem like the alcohol is excreted in the milk, but can have other undesired effects for you and the baby
