Is it safe to drink alcohol and breast feed?

[WombToBloom]

It is never okay to drink alcohol and breastfeed. Alcohol comes out in the breast milk and can affect the baby. There are in fact many items we eat or drink that come out in the breast milk, including aspartame, and food preservatives. It is for this reason that you must eat healthy and avoid drinking alcohol during the time you are breastfeeding.

If you have to drink, express that milk and throw it away rather than giving it to your baby. Give your baby some saved breast milk instead. If you have a problem with alcohol, maybe you should seek professional advice and quit breastfeeding until you have dealt with your alcohol issues.

I think that's not good for your baby if you are taking alcohol and breast feeding because it if you are taking this it will pass through your milk to your baby and that would be not good for him or her.
