Is it good to take beer while breastfeeding?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Is it right to take a beer while breastfeeding? Is it different from other forms of alcohol?

Answered by Dr. Mashfika N Alam

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is not healthy to take an alcoholic beverage during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It has a lot of adverse effects on the baby. You can have a light drink immediately after nursing the baby. Wait for at least three to four hours before nursing the baby again. Breastfeeding mothers should always stay away from alcoholic beverages.
