Question 2
A breastfeeding mother asks you if alcohol can be eliminated from her breast milk by pumping immediately after drinking a few glasses of wine. What would you tell her?
a. Yes; in fact, discarding your breast milk is a good thing to do if you would like to drink while breastfeeding.
b. Yes; pumping will help, but you need to pump for the next 24 hours and discard any milk that you collect.
c. No; your breast milk will still contain alcohol; you will need to wait 1 hour per alcoholic beverage and then pump the milk and discard it to be safe.
d. No; the alcohol will still be in the breast milk and will clear from the milk as soon as it clears from the blood stream: roughly 2 to 3 hours per drink for a 120-pound woman.
e. None of the above will help eliminate alcohol from breast milk.
