breast milk alcohol test kit

You should pump and have enough for over 24 hours , they sell test kits for alcohol in breast milk to see when it's safe to breastfeed again. I know they have them at Walmart.

I've heard, but haven't confirmed, that alcohol stays in your milk like it stays in your blood. I've seen milk test strip at stores like Buy Buy Baby ,to test your milk before feeding. But again, I don't know how accurate they are. Isn't The Rule Of Thumb After Drinking To Just "Pump and Dump"?

You certainly can drink and breastfeed as long as its a reasonable amount you are drinking (roughly one drink per hour). Firstly pump and dump is a waste of milk no matter how much you pump the.alcohol in your milk is Dependant on the alcohol in your blood and how quickly your body metabolizes it. Test strips are also a waste of money... Also just because you have a drink or two over the course of about an hour doesn't mean that your breast milk has the same alcohol content as your drinks.

I am 29 years Male, i have done my SGPT medical test and it shows that my sgpt is 103 which is very High. I drink frequently and i am vegetarian. and i like to have fried items and Milk and Soda.

I did find at Babies R US they have test strips that you can test your breast milk to see if the alcohol levels are low and safe for you to feed that milk to your baby. It's what I plan on doing, I got pregnant 2 months after I turned 21 and my hubby turns 21 next year and I wanna be able to drink with him but I will be breastfeeding.

Buy the alcohol test strips for testing breastmilk there fairly cheap and its better then guessing all u do is pump dip the test strip and it reads if there is any alcohol In your milk or not they sell them at target baby's r us and online

Buy the testing strips. They test for alcohol in your breast milk.

Pump and dump is not gonna help and the teat strips are a waste of money. Alcohol metabolizes through your breast milk at the same rate that it metabolizes in your blood. Meaning if you have one drink, regardless of how much you pump and dump it'll still take about an hour for your body to fully metabolize the alcohol. With that being said the concentration of alcohol in your breast milk also reflects that of your blood.

I am lead to believe pumpin and dumping doesn't work. The alcohol stays in your milk while its in your system. When you sober up, your milk should be fine. But i would definitely recommend alcohol test strips to be safe.

Keep pumping, just pump and dump until you're body is rid of the medication and you are capable again. I saw tonight at Walmart they sell a kit to test breast milk for alcohol toxins. It might not hurt to ask when it's safe. I plan on bf and already decided after 8 years of sobriety I will be having a girls night out after -- in which case I will be pumping & dumping.

There's test strips to test if there's alcohol in the breast milk.

Too much alcohol.

There's a limit and I'm almost 100% positive that she passed it! There are alcohol test strips that you can use to test the alcohol that is coming through your milk supply! If it's over then you may as well be filling a bottle up with alcohol and giving it to your.

Maybe if you pump after u drink it I got confused sorry I've seen woman had wine pump the milk out then breast feed later

You can still breastfeed they make strips to test milk for alcohol so pump and check if it has alcohol dump it and try again in a couple hours until it clears or system alcohol might stay for 24 hrs I think

How long you have to wait before breastfeeding depends on how much you drink. You don't have to pump and dump. You can buy test strips now to test your breast milk to see if any alcohol is still present.

I have never used the strips but have. Also read that as soon as you no longer tipsy its fine.

Yea i heard about those too. i cant go get them tonight tho.

You have to pump and through it out. They have test strips that can test the milk and see if alcohol is still present.

I wouldn't breast feed if you choose to drink and smoke. Baby gets everything you get through your milk. They even have to prescribe you certain antibiotics if you're breastfeeding. You can pump and dump if you drink or there's strips to test if there's alcohol in your milk but definitely wouldn't smoke for sure.

Hopefully you have a good milk supply but when you drink you have to "pump and dump" to get the breastmilk with alcohol out of your system...

Yes alcohol will go into the breast milk. So its best to pump enough milk and have it stored. Then after drinking I believe you're suppose to pump and dump for 6 hours. They sell strips at I think Walmart that test breastmilk for alcohol to make sure you got it all out.

Alcohol peaks 30 to 90 minutes after u have a drink and works its way out depending on ur metabolism and how long ur drinking pump and dump just if u need relief but it wont get rid of alcohol they have test strips if u wanna play it safe
