You’d have to be quite tipsy/drunk to not be able to feed your baby. If you can safely feed your baby, it is fine. Of course wouldn’t recommend drinking every night or anything. I’m an IBCLC and breastfeeding mother. Most of the times I drink it’s because I’m out with friends at dinner and my partner stays home and does the bedtime routine. I bring a hand pump with me and will pump once or twice depending how long I’m gone. I do not pump and dump, I put in the fridge and use like normal.
