Haha I have a fantastic photo of me when the girls were about 2 months old. I have a pillow on my lap with both babies laying on top of it and me with a bottle of Montheiths in hand haha I look so white trash I love it!]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 10:28:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571914&title=milk-screening#571914 <![CDATA[Milk Screening : For the ladies who do have a drink...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571891&title=milk-screening#571891 Author: Nefertiti

For the ladies who do have a drink after baby has gone to bed, it would be interesting to try the test just to see lol

But then again, I don't think I'd trust them....don't know why though...]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 09:53:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571891&title=milk-screening#571891 <![CDATA[Milk Screening : blondy wrote:some advice I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571833&title=milk-screening#571833 Author: MrsMojo

That's what I was told too. What I was told is it takes 30 mins for the alcohol to make it into the breastmilk and 3 hrs for 1 unit of alcohol to pass through your system completely. I was told that by a medical engineer from F&P Healthcare and it makes sense to me.

I tend to agree with all of you when you say if someone's concerned enough to do screen their breastmilk then they're better off not drinking at all (or not breastfeeding if they're someone who drinks enough that they have to be concerned).

Yup, I also don't have anything to drink until Natalie's in bed for the night, but some advice I was given is that it's actually best to have a drink (if you are going to have one) WHILE breastfeeding, because the feed will be long over before the alcohol makes it's way into the milk. Personally, I'd play it safe and wait!

(although i know my Mum drank occasionally during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and I figure I turned out ok)

That's just what I was told.

But I just don't drink until Hannah's gone to bed - just to be on the safe side

Oh, don't get me wrong! When I said I wasn't going to buy them, it was because I won't be drinking while breastfeeding lol

But on the subject of the one hour thing - I thought it was longer?]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 19:52:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571734&title=milk-screening#571734 <![CDATA[Milk Screening : I can see why the tests are a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23261&PID=571621&title=milk-screening#571621 Author: BugTeeny

I can see why the tests are a good idea.

But if you're unsure, just don't drink.
My MW and Plunket nurse both had the rule "make sure you finish your drink at least an hour before you need to feed"
