Pump and Dump After Drinking? NO

The holidays are all about extended family, which means, by necessity, they’re also all about alcohol. But what if you’re a nursing mom? On the one hand, you’ve probably been told by your friends to start drinking Guinness, based on the popular notion that dark beer can boost milk supply. But your parenting books almost certainly tell you the opposite—that you should be very careful about imbibing alcohol as a nursing mom because it seeps into breast milk and thus into your baby and could pose various risks.
