Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Is it right to take a beer while breastfeeding? Is it different from other forms of alcohol?
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.
