  1. THAT is an awesome invention!!!

    They seem to work efficiently, however your body will metabolize 1 glass of wine (average 4oz) in 3 hours completely out of your system. Seeing as if feedings in the beginning are generally every 2 hours, if you are able to pump, do so and save if for the next feeding and have that glass of wine either while breastfeeding or shortly after... therefore you have a 4-6 hour span to metabolize it.

    I am emailing their site to all my nursing mommy friends!


  2. I actually have never heard of them. I just didn't drink alcohol while I was breastfeeding. But that is no judgement on anyone who does. I hope they are good.
