I'm posting this not to receive answers, but rather to share info with other breastfeeding mothers. It's a lot of work to nurse your child, and although I really am not a drinker I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine with dinner. Pretty much everyone came down hard on the woman who wanted to know how long to wait to nurse after having a drink (which was asked a few hrs ago). She was being a responsable mother, trying to find out exactly how long she needed to wait, and most people said: DONT DRINK. In a negative manner to boot. This is for all those people: please see the following links. The first one works to dispell the myth that a nursing mother can not have the occasional drink or that you must 'pump and dump' after drinking, the second gives you down to the minute advice on how long to wait based on your weight. Now lets go drink a toast to motherhood!!
