I do! Do you??
-
Hells yes!
-
OH YEAH!! Some days are just so stressful haha!!
I actually generally have a beer instead... a leinenkugel
there is a whole case in my fridge right now lol
-
No (well, I'm pregnant now so I can't really) - I don't really like to drink at home. Only if I've had a SUPER bad day every once in a while will I think to open a bottle.
-
I should have also asked or before! Nothing wrong with that either!!
-
@Coco Bee: last night I had a beer - dogfishhead yum! Tonight a glass of red wine!
-
@winniebee: hahaha re: the before kid goes to bed
I usually try to wait until after because then it's a long stretch before he eats again so the alcohol has time to exit my system
during the day I still nurse ever 3-4 hours.
-
Yes, after he goes down for his longest stretch. I soak in a hot bath with a glass of wine. It's divine.
-
Not often. I will drink nonalcoholic beer. A sad life.
-
@Coco Bee: basically one of the only benefits of exclusively pumping was I got to drink a glass whenever I felt like it!
-
I'm not really a wine drinker, but I do sometimes treat myself to an adult beverage after DS goes to bed.
-
@Sweet T: lol adult beverage?!
-
I wish. But it would give me a migraine
-
Yes ma'am
I'm into a new Niagara Reisling right now that usually hits the spot. And usually I'm a red wine girl.
-
ummm, THANK YOU @winniebee. Thanks to you I'm about to pump and then enjoy a glass of wine!! We have a bottle of moscato in the fridge just calling my name!!!
-
yes.
sleep regression was the WORST because I'd have my glass of wine all poured and then I'd hear the cry.Cheers to being back to the after-bed drink!!!
-
@mrs. wagon: yummy! Enjoy!
@cvbee: now THAT is a milestone
-
@winniebee:
-
Before I was pregnant, yes, although not as often as I should have now that I think about it.
-
Once in awhile, but I'm not a huge wine drinker. A glass of Belgium beer, though - yes!
-
@winniebee: drinking a beer right now
-
@Coco Bee: haha I always tell DH that I'm going to have an adult beverage. I don't even know where it came from!
-
Oh, yeah! Lately it's been wine, but it's usually beer. I love Fall beers, though, and a good hard cider!
-
Most definitely - just finished a glass of red a few minutes ago! LO is down for the night so I have another 9 hrs to go before she will need to feed again.
-
Heck yes!
-
I would. If one glass got me tipsy then maybe not but it doesn't. My parents always had wine with dinner even when we were little so this doesn't seem weird to me.
-
Definitely tonight! DH and I are going to dinner to celebrate my birthday.
-
Oh yeah! Not every night but sometimes mama needs a drink to unwind.
-
Sometimes before...
usually beer or a cocktail though.
About twice a week or so. I thought I would go back to my 1/2 to 1 drink a night with dinner but I haven't felt like it. -
Usually a pour a glass or two of wine or beer during dinner and sip on it through the evening. Just depends on what type of mood I'm in.
-
So do you pump and dump (if you're pumping)? Or how long do you give in between?
I had my first glass tonight. DH and I went to my favorite sushi place and had a "date night." I'm going to dump this one, but I'm curious what everyone does.
-
No. We have no alcohol in our house (sometimes I wish we did) and LO is such a terrible sleeper that her next wakeup is totally unpredictable and I usually just nurse her back to sleep.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: From what I've read and been told by my midwives, the alcohol is most potent in your bloodstream between 30 - 90 minutes after it's consumed. That being said, they also told me that if I drink it with food and am well hydrated, drinking one glass of wine at a slow to moderate pace is not going to have any detrimental effect on LO if she needs to feed within that 30 - 90 minute window.
I still tend to err on the side of caution but if I needed to feed or pump during that time, I wouldn't worry too much about it, nor would I dump the milk. I freeze my milk in ice cube trays and then dump them in a gallon ziploc bag, so the chances of grabbing all the ice cubes from that one pumping session are pretty slim.
-
@krsmall: Oh! Happy birthday!
@Mrs Green Grass: We do not pump and dump. We wait the allotted hours (and usually made sure I had some in the fridge in case he woke up before a la @cvbee's son.) Now, since I only have one drink or less and he's not a newborn (though doc said it was fine even then), I will feed him even with some alcohol in the milk. I know that is controversial but my doctor said it was fine. And it usually only happens once a month that he drinks shortly after I do (or while I still am). -
@Mrs Green Grass: there's no need to pump and dump. I wait 2 - 3 hours after finishing a drink before I feed LO.
@pastemoo: thank you!!!
-
@pastemoo: good idea to make sure there is pumped milk in the fridge in case baby all of a sudden wakes up off schedule!
-
@TurtleDoves: honestly I think I have thrown out way too much because of this. still worth it for a beer or cocktail.
there is a whole case in my fridge right now lol
