Álcool

After alcohol consumption in moderate amounts, breastfeeding can generally be resumed as soon as someone feels neurologically normal.1

Alcohol is not a galactagogue; it may blunt prolactin response to suckling and negatively affects infant motor development. Por isso, ingestion of alcoholic beverages should be minimized and limited to an occasional intake but no more than 0.5 g per kg of body weight, which for a 60 kg mother is approximately 2 oz liquor, 8 oz wine, ou 2 beers. Nursing should take place 2 hours or longer after drinking to minimize its concentration in the ingested milk.2 Dr.. Gideon Koren of the Canadian Motherisk Program provides a table with times from the beginning of drinking until the clearance of alcohol from breastmilk for people of various body weights.3

É importante que o processo de escolha totalmente informado divulgar any alcohol consumption to a recipient family.
