Alcohol: does enter the breast milk but small amounts are not harmful. It can take a number of hours for the alcohol in the drink you describe to clear your system and the breast milk. It may take longer if you had it with a meal. You can be sure it will not get to the baby after about 6 hours but what you had should do no harm if you do breastfeed in the interim. Have pumped milk available in the futur
