“He’ll just sleep better that night. loool” … lol again you crazy wench and I will replace your fake-blooded marshmellow tamp with a real one. Lots of iron, make you healthy. “loooll”. *roll eyes*

Looks like it’s made with marshmallows and cranberry sauce/juice.

Still, though. I dry-heaved a little.

Food doesn’t soak up alcohol or change the way your body feels.

Trust me. Take two shots sometime, on an empty stomach, then compare the next time to two shots on a full stomach.

Your Blood Alcohol Content will be the same regardless of the amount of food.

You are absolutely wrong about when you say that only a small amount evaporates from breatsmilk. Evaporation IS how it leaves the milk.

And yes, how much food you have in your belly DOES effect how drunk you get, and how fast it happens. I never said anything about eating food afterward.

Alcohol leaves breastmilk the same way it leaves your blood. It evaporates over hours. There is no magic number on how long it takes to go away, either.
Weight of the mother, how much she has eaten, how much she hasdrank, etc. It all factors in.

And formula was invented for babies who were not able to have breasmilk, for whatever reason. It was never meant to be such a big supplement or main food source for any child. But money talks, and many women are dumb and actually believe formula is as good as breastmilk or they give up nursing after a few days of trouble with trying to nurse, so that’s why so many babies these days are given formula.
Granted, there are the mothers who honestly do want to and do try to nurse, but because they don’t have the right help, they lack milk, they have other medical conditions, etc,so they can’t–those women are exempted from my comments.

As for the baby in the above post… the childs age, weight, health and other factors will need to be taken into account before anyone decides if the child has been or will be harmed by the mother nursing and getting drunk.
The comment about the baby sleeping better that night is pretty horrific and not at all funny. Obviously that person has never seen the effecrs of an baby who has injested alcohol though breastmilk. I have

It’s safe to say that if you are drunk, then DO NOT nurse the baby. In fact, no one who is drunk should be caring for a baby at all. Period!

Try re-reading my post, One beer typically has one ounce of alcohol… not 12. An 8 oz glass of wine has about 1 oz of alcohol, and one oz of liquor is one drink. Saying a beer has 12 ounces of liquer in it is to say that would be equivelent t0 taking 12 shots. And, you dont die from 24 beers (or drinks). Theres a possibility you can, but I have seen ppl drink that much and survive.

and to Holly, I was saying they invented formula so you dont have to breastfeed. Not to enable drunken mothers.

ALSO. #77 tristan, You don’t die from 24 beers. I’ve had 24 beers in about 6 hours before. Not that I’m recommending that, of course.

Fool: Mooncups are sick in the head, they’re unhygienic and dirty, but that obviously doesn’t bother you which is why most people think you’re disgusting.

Personally I think the picture is genius; Perfect for Halloween! It’s not all supposed to be pretty; it’s Halloween, things are supposed to be gross and sickening and gory! That’s part of the point!

In my opinion mothers who drink while breastfeeding are pretty selfish to be honest. I would never consider it, not with all these conflicting thoughts on whether or not it’s ok. I’d rather be safe than sorry and just go without than put my child at risk!! I’m not an alcoholic, but it seems a lot of people must be if they’re that desperate for alcohol.

I have a feeling the last one is fake because it’s just too ridiculous. And for all you people ranting on about “omgzzz why did she put it in the dryer first!?!” – she supposedly pissed on the bed, and she’s clearly an idiot – she must’ve stupidly thought she should dry the sheets out before washing them.

Now shutup about breastfeeding, this isn’t the time or the place to be reading some preachy bullshit.

“Um, thats why you pump. DUH! Also, unless you’ve had 24 beers, it does not take 24 hours. Your liver can process an ounce (or one drink) of alcohol per hour.”

Well, that would be true but depends what type of alcohol it is that is being processed. Those with higher alcohol content takes longer. An average beer is 12 ounces but it doesnt take the liver 12 hours to get rid of one beer. The liver can process lower alcohol drinks faster than like Jagermeister or something like that with an absurd amount of alcohol. Also, if you have 24 beers, you die. Period.

Knowing that is part of my job.

Everyone else who is getting on the breastfeeding and drinking debate – @Julie (43) is the only one making any sense at all. Stop jumping to conclusions you idiots!

@homebirthMama (70)
Presumably you have two children then? And you didn’t eat the placenta on the first. Otherwise what qualifies the “Felt much stronger, awake and alert” comment? And don’t say “than other people”, because how would you know? Different people feel differently after their different birthing processes.

Stepping. Off. Soap. Box.
