YES 2-3 hrs after : That’s up to each woman to decide. But it’s important to know that when you drink alcohol, some of the alcohol passes through your breast milk to your baby. After you have 1 drink, it takes about 2 hours for your body to get rid of the alcohol. Because of this, most doctors recommend that women wait 2 hours after having a drink before they breastfeed.
