I drank last night... how long do I need to pump and dump?

Hi all-

Decided to take a break last night, so had grandma sit with the kids while my husband and I went out. I ended up drinking more than I should have... probably about 5-7 drinks. I've pumped and dumped all of my feedings this morning... how long do I need to do this? I'm feeling ok now, but still a little worried about alcohol getting to the baby.

u dont need to pump and dump at all. the alchol is only in ur milk for aslong as its in ur blood. 1 hour per unit, so ur milk should be fine now depending when u stopped drinking

takes 1 hour per unit for alcohol to leave you system

There is no such thing as pump and dump.

There is no such thing as pump and dump.

Unless you're engorged and uncomfortable, in which case some mums relieve the pressure by pump and dump technique, but as everyone has said the alcohol leaves your milk around same rate as it leaves your blood.

I myself would personally pump and dump first morning feed more for my own piece of mind
