Can I have an alcoholic drink when I am breastfeeding?

This is a question that gets asked often and particularly at this time of year.

Breastfeeding mothers can have occasional, small amounts of alcohol but should not drink regularly or heavily (e.g. binge drinking) without considering how to limit the baby’s exposure. It is not necessary to express breastmilk to clear it of alcohol.

• If you drink any alcohol, regardless of feeding method, do not bed share or fall asleep on a sofa/chair with your baby.
• If you do binge drink, your baby should be cared for by an adult who has not had any alcohol.

Stay safe this Christmas and New Year.
