Baby C is one month old and I'm looking forward to a glass of wine! When did you enjoy your first alcoholic beverage post-baby?
-
I think two weeks. I got use to not being able to drink, I forgot I could.
-
I had a sip or two of champagne the night we came home from the hospital. Does that count? Lol.
-
2 weeks because it was Christmas! Sometimes you just need a little help to get through the holidays with a newborn and big families.
-
my mom brought champagne to the hospital. It isn't a celebration without champagne!!
-
@yoursilverlining: I had planned on this, but we totally forgot.
-
3 weeks. Wine at a nice dinner!
-
The night we came home from the hospital. We had a bottle of really nice champagne saved for the occasion. However, by that time, I was so tired that I didn't fully enjoy it.
-
@mrs. tictactoe: My mom and I used to smuggle margaritas and champagne to my grandmother when she was in the nursing home, so we're used to smuggling in booze
we're so bad!!
-
In Massachusetts it's illegal to have alcoholic beverages in the hospital.
I think it was around 6 weeks, I went to a fundraiser and had a glass of wine.
-
Like...the third night home? Had a glass of wine but I also remember going to get mexican on our way home from the NICU and i had a margarita
@yoursilverlining: I approve of this behavior
-
The night we got home from the hospital I had a small glass of wine. My dad poured it for me so I drank some. I wasn't in search of booze at the moment.
-
2 weeks! I had a pint on our first date night after baby was born.
-
2 weeks
-
I think within the first week home!
-
About a month postpartum when we went out to dinner for our 1st wedding anniversary.
-
3 weeks, DH birthday I had a glass of wine with dinner.
-
My MIL poured me a glass of wine the afternoon I got home from the hospital. It wasn't a big deal for me through because I'd had small amounts throughout pregnancy.
Oh yeah, I had a milk stout the next day too- it was St. Patty's day and I wasn't about to miss out!
-
In the hospital, the day after! They treated us to a dinner "date". So right after I nursed LO the nurse brought in wine and steak.
-
@alwayssunny722: I like this hospital!
-
I'm 8 months PP and breastfeeding and I still haven't. I've almost forgotten about alcohol since I've went without it so long lol. But I'll probably just wait until I'm done BFing.
-
A month after he was born when I stopped pumping!
-
Today at 5 weeks!
-
What's the rule with breastfeeding? How long do you have to wait before it is out of your system?
-
About a month. We went out for DH'S birthday & I had a drink
-
Ha! DH smuggled in red stripe for me. I'd been craving a ice cold red stripe for months! It was SO good. But I only allowed myself half a bottle.
Then it was probably a month before I had another half a bottle.
@MrsHansen82: rule of thumb is 2 hrs. It's most concentrated in breast milk 30-60 minutes later, I think. But it alll depends on your body weight. Kellymom said if you feel well enough to drive then you're good to BF.
-
The day I got home from the hospital! I've also been known to have a glass or two if I really need her to sleep, as well. Eh
-
Pretty much as soon as I got home from the hospital. Yep. It was lovely having a guilt-free glass of wine!
-
I still haven't at 12 months PP. I'm going to a bridal shower next weekend, I will probably have a glass of champagne there.
-
2 weeks- on Easter.
-
Had a few sips 3 months pp at a wedding
-
I had a beer the night we got home from the hospital. And many, many nights thereafter, lol. I took kellymom's take as gospel truth.
-
If it works out for us, I would definitely love to have champagne - or really nice beer we've been saving - to celebrate while I'm still in the birthing center. Possibly with fresh sushi from the awesome sushi truck next door.
-
@yoursilverlining: I agree! My mum brought champagne into our delivery room and I definitely had a glass!
-
I'm pretty sure that both times it was within the first week.
-
5 days pp with my Christmas dinner, nice glass of red!
-
Within a week after birth I had a shot or two of vodka.
-
@yoursilverlining: me too! Friends brought a bottle to the hospital the day DS was born and I had a few sips.
With DD, I don't think I drank until we got home (4 days) but they offered a free bottle of sparkling wine at the hospital, which we forgot to pick up.
-
A few days after we got home I had a beer. I love my booze but it wasn't enjoyable at first Bc I was soooo tired.
-
@MrsHansen82: if you're ok to drive, you're ok to nurse.
