It&#8217;s crucial for breastfeeding mothers to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and other non-alcoholic fluids to maintain an adequate milk supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text \">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Taking Care of Your Baby<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to caring for a breastfeeding baby, responsible alcohol consumption is key. <\/p>\n<p>The general recommendation is that if a mother chooses to drink alcohol, she should do so in moderation and plan accordingly. <\/p>\n<p>Timing is crucial, as it takes approximately two hours for the body to metabolize one standard drink. Mothers can breastfeed before consuming alcohol, allowing ample time for it to clear from their system before the next feeding. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, pumping and storing breast milk in advance can be a good option if mothers wish to have an occasional alcoholic drink<a name=\"amount\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text  formatted-text--pink\">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>What&#8217;s holding you back?<\/h2>\n<p>Not sure if you really want to quit drinking?<\/p>\n<p>Need help to stop drinking?<\/p>\n<p>Want to stop, but concerned that you\u2019ll find it tough?<\/p>\n<p>Worried that you\u2019ll be deprived for the rest of your life without alcohol?<\/p>\n<p>We can help you to understand and remove those fears and in so doing, make it quitting easy<\/p>\n<p>We have trained advisor available to help you right away, by calling 0800 389 2115<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/easyway-stop-drinking\/free-online-consultation\/\" class=\"button button--white\">Start the quiz<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text \">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>How much alcohol passes into breastmilk?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to understand that alcohol can pass into breast milk, potentially affecting a breastfeeding infant.<\/p>\n<p>Research has shown that peak alcohol levels in breast milk occur about 30-60 minutes after consuming a drink.<\/p>\n<p>However, the amount of alcohol a baby take in through breast milk is very small. The exact amount of alcohol depends on the mother&#8217;s weight, body composition, and the rate of alcohol metabolism but on average at it\u2019s peak only 2-5% of the alcohol drunk by the mother will pass to the breastmilk<a name=\"expressing\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text \">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>Will expressing clear alcohol from my breast milk?<\/h2>\n<p>Many breastfeeding mothers wonder if they can express alcohol from their breast milk. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, pumping, drinking water, or engaging in other methods cannot speed up the removal of alcohol from breast milk. <\/p>\n<p>The body&#8217;s metabolism is responsible for the elimination of alcohol, and it simply takes time. <\/p>\n<p>The best course of action is to allow enough time for the alcohol to metabolize and clear from the body before breastfeeding or pumping milk for the baby.<br \/>\n<a name=\"effects\"><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"formatted-text \">\n\t<div class=\"container container--large\">\n\t\t<h2>What are the effects of drinking alcohol while breastfeeding?<\/h2>\n<p>Excessive alcohol consumption during breastfeeding can have adverse effects on both the mother and the baby.<\/p>\n<p>It can affect the mother\u2019s judgment and coordination, potentially putting her and the baby at risk. Which is why mother\u2019s should never share a bed, armchair or sofa with their baby if they have been drinking.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, infants are more sensitive to alcohol&#8217;s effects due to their immature liver function, which makes it harder for them to metabolize alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Babies exposed to alcohol through breast milk may experience drowsiness, deep sleep, and impaired motor development.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term exposure to high levels of alcohol can also disrupt the baby&#8217;s sleep patterns and hinder their overall development<a
