The average woman: metabolizes off about 1 drink per hour. If they were normal sized glasses of wine, they should be out of your system in about 2 hours. Mild alcohol intake is not unsafe in breastfeeding, however. Just avoid heavy drinking. Hope this helps!

Depends: Breast milk is made continuously & alcohol travels freely into the milk,in its separate compartment, leaving some behind after your body metabolizes the rest (2hr.)Some studies suggest light alcohol consumption is well tolerated.But concerns remain.Alcohol at any level can be toxic to the developing brain with effects not evident for decades.
