    Drinking while breastfeeding is fine. There's newer research showing the transfer of alcohol to breast milk is so low it isn't really of concern. It's still miles better than formula no matter what.

    It's a tiny tiny amount, they ingest the equivalent of your BAC (let's say 0.05%) which is then ingested by the infant at that concentration, and their BAC becomes a fraction of that. Which is different to foetal BAC, which would be similar to the Mothers.

    I'm sticking with Dr Jack Newman's advice... it's fine to drink a reasonable amount - "you must not drop the baby, but the problem is your coordination not the amount of alcohol in the milk."
