ETOH and breastfeed: Depending on the quantity of alcohol you consumed - you probably are safe at this point. Alcohol is metabolized about a ounce of pure alcohol every hour by the body. So by now you should be ok. If anything - from a practical standpoint, the breast milk won't contain any alcohol since its a "manufactured" product of your body and not in direct contact with the alcohol in your blood stream.
