A member asked:

How many ounces of red wine 14% would be ok to have with dinner and still be able to breastfeed in a a couple hours?

In my view: You should not be taking any alcohol during pregnancy. It is very easy to produce vitamin deficiency in the baby.

Zero: It takes more than 2 hours to clear alcohol from your blood system. If you are breastfeeding abstain from alcohol for at least 4 hours as the alcohol WILL be transmitted to your breastfeeding infant.
