Can I have a drink at a holiday party and still breastfeed?
What you need to know about alcohol and breastfeeding this season.

Short answer: Yes — in most cases, you can.

Alcohol does pass into breast milk, but it leaves your milk as it leaves your bloodstream.

What matters most is how much you drink and timing.

✨ One “standard drink” is defined as:
• 12 oz beer
• 5–6 oz wine
• 1.5 oz distilled spirits (one mixed drink)

After one standard drink, many lactation experts recommend waiting about 2–3 hours before nursing if you want to be extra cautious.

A few important reminders:
✨ You do not need to pump and dump just because you had a drink
✨ Pumping and dumping only removes milk — it does not remove alcohol from your body
✨ If you’re sober enough to safely hold and care for your baby, breastfeeding is generally considered safe
✨ Pumping may still be helpful if you’re uncomfortably full while waiting

These guidelines align with recommendations from the CDC and the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.

As always, consult your healthcare provider with medical questions.

Pumping in cold weather can feel a little different — tighter fl**ges, drier skin, and even changes in how frozen milk smells. ❄️

Here are a few IBCLC-approved tweaks to make winter pumping smoother:
✨ Warm your fl**ges first.
It helps with comfort and letdown.
✨ Protect your skin.
Winter dryness can make pumping more sensitive.
✨ Check your fl**ge fit.
Breast tissue behaves differently in cold weather — a temporary size shift is normal.
✨ Store milk safely during winter travel.
Extreme cold can damage bags — keep milk in an insulated cooler for stability.

Your pumping journey doesn’t stop for the season — and we’re here to make it a little easier.

Winter brings extra stimulation — bright lights, noises, visitors, and shifting routines. These cozy rituals can help your baby settle into feeding more easily, offering both of you a moment to slow down and reconnect. 💛

None of this needs to be perfect. Even one small shift — dimmer lights, a warm layer, or sitting in a quiet corner — can help create the calm your baby needs to nurse comfortably this season.

✨ Want more gentle winter feeding support?
Our new blog, Sick Season & Breastfeeding: Your Complete Winter Feeding Survival Guide, walks you through real-life strategies for feeding on low-energy days, busy days, and everything in between.

Your milk supply feels a little off after the holidays? You’re not alone. 💛

Between travel, skipped meals, missed feeds, and less hydration than usual, many parents notice a temporary dip this time of year.

The good news — your body knows how to recover. ✨

Here’s how to gently support your supply as you get back into routine:
1️⃣ Feed or pump often. Go back to baby’s cues or aim for every 2–3 hours.
2️⃣ Hydrate well. Arizona’s dry winter air can sneak up fast — keep a water bottle nearby.
3️⃣ Rest and nourish. Even simple, balanced meals and extra sleep make a difference.
4️⃣ Be patient. Supply usually rebounds within a few days once things settle down.

✨ You’re doing more right than you think — small, consistent steps help your body catch up.

💛 If your supply still feels low or you’re unsure what’s normal, our IBCLCs can help you rebuild with confidence.

If your routine feels off — that’s okay. 💛

After long days, sickness, or travel, it can take time to find your feeding rhythm again.
Connection doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s in the little things — the cuddles, comfort feeds, and shared quiet moments that help you both feel safe and grounded.

✨ Rest. Hydrate. Breathe.

You and your baby are learning your way back together.

If you’d like extra support rebuilding your supply or easing back into a routine, our IBCLCs are here to help.

The holidays can get busy — but your milk supply doesn’t have to suffer. 💛

Between travel, skipped naps, and extra to-dos, feeding sessions can get off track. Here are three gentle reminders that help protect your supply when life gets hectic:
1️⃣ Feed or pump every 2–3 hours (short sessions still count!)
2️⃣ Stay hydrated and keep snacks nearby
3️⃣ Take quiet moments to rest and reset

✨ It’s not about doing it perfectly — it’s about staying connected and consistent.

💛 If you’re noticing changes in supply or need guidance getting back on track, our IBCLCs can help.
