According to the explanation of Roger W. Harms, MD, Mayo Clinic specialist content of the lactation period when a mother but consume alcohol, the alcohol can get into breast milk - with the same concentration as found in the bloodstream.
Research shows that babies who get breast milk contamination with alcohol (one drink a day), may have impaired motor development. Even under the influence of alcohol, the baby will experience changes in sleep patterns.
A study of about 400 babies who had dipublikai in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1989 showed a delay in motor development in infants breastfed at the age of one year. These infants acquiring milk from his mother who drank alcohol at least once every day during the first three months after birth.
The findings are at once dismissed the mistaken belief that says that alcohol consumption can increase milk production. Research shows that alcohol actually reduced milk production and that the presence of alcohol in breast milk causing babies only get 20 percent less milk.
Roger said, if you choose to eat drink beralhohol, should avoid breast-feeding until the alcohol content is really clean from your breast milk.
This can be done by waiting between 2-3 hours to about 12 ounces (340 grams) of beer with alcohol content of 5%, 5 ounces (141.75 grams) of alcohol 11 percent wine, or 1.5 ounces of alcoholic beverages 40 percent. Levels of alcohol in the body (and levels of alcohol in breast milk) will peak within 30 to 90 minutes after you drink. But the benchmark time - or the duration of alcohol in the blood - will vary in each person, depending on weight.
Another thing to keep in mind, says Roger, pump and discard breast milk is not necessary because such action does not accelerate the elimination of alcohol from your body. Breastfeeding is the optimal way to feed newborns and infants is recommended up to age 1 year.
