The following is an extract from the NHSYou can let alcohol, as well as any food or drinks you consume while you breastfeed, into your breastmilk.
The NHS explained that: ‘An occasional drink is unlikely to harm your breastfed baby.
‘But never share a bed or sofa with your baby if you have drunk any alcohol.’
