Yeah If you want a drink either express your milk and feed it to her in a bottle. Or feed her before from the breast then have your drink. Once your breasts get full again. Pump & DUMP your milk...

Thanks ladies.

Lucy I thought i was the only one who liked to have a glass of wine at night!After a stressful day nothing like a glass of rosé...

Lucy

Oh absolutely! My MW told me to have 2 glasses a night! I think everyone should do what they feel comfortable with. Sometimes I would express some milk so DH could give O a bottle when she woke for a feed about 11 ish which meant I had about 7 hours of feed free time to enjoy some wine etc.
Looking back it wasn't that long until I could enjoy a really good few drinks and then when we went out for a bit night out I just left expressed milk - the only pain was the full boobs but you soon get good at hand expressing into a tissue in the loos!

i will be still getting the hang of it at xmas time, so i doubt i will get to have a drink

Really hope i can feed myself this time round, im so determind to do it more than ever, seeing what you have overcome Kx has really inspired me to give it ago and stick it out.

Layla hun thats what I had this time round too, determination. I kept saying, no matter what I wont be beaten!

Always here when the time comes if you need to vent or support. The help Ive received on here has been invaluable, thanks to you all!xx

Lucy thats a good idea about tissue! Altho I havent had a night out in over a year and a half

well when I was on a night out there's no way I wanted a breastpump being hauled out of my bag when they check your bag going into a club!

I can't wait for my first night out after this one is here, it wont be for a couple of months I'm sure - but that'll give me time to lose some weight as well!

Hi ladies! I was just reading about the pain some of you experienced during feeding. I recently saw something in the baby store called "nipple guards", did anyone use these during breast feeding or are they only for pumping?

Sorry if my question is crazy, I haven't taken my breastfeeding class yet so I know very little.
