21. [INTERVIEW Part I] Amy Darracott- Certified Lactation Counselor
Today's episode is a two-parter! I am interviewing a local CLC (certified lactation counselor), and asking her all the things about breast feeding and pumping, from drinking and breast feeding to breast feeding with implants. I wish I had someone like Amy in my corner when I was attempting what seemed like one of the most daunting tasks I've ever had to go through.

Breastfeeding and Alcohol: Moderate alcohol consumption by a breastfeeding mother (up to 1 standard drink per day) is not known to be harmful to the infant, especially if the mother waits at least 2 hours before breastfeeding. The alcohol level in breast milk is essentially the same as the alcohol level in a mother’s bloodstream. Expressing or pumping milk after drinking alcohol, and then discarding it (“pumping and dumping”), does NOT reduce the amount of alcohol present in the mother’s milk more quickly. As the mother’s alcohol blood level falls over time, the level of alcohol in her breast milk will also decrease. The highest alcohol levels in milk occur 30 to 60 minutes after an alcoholic beverage.
