Is It Safe to Drink Alcohol While Breastfeeding? The Hidden Harm No One Talks About

You gave up alcohol for nine months to protect your baby—so why do doctors and midwives tell you it’s okay to start again while breastfeeding?

 

This episode exposes the dangerous myth that alcohol and breast milk can safely mix. We’re not here to shame—we’re here to tell the truth.

 

If alcohol passes into your bloodstream, it passes into your milk. And if your baby drinks that milk, they feel the effects. Less feeding. Less sleep. More stress. And long-term? Potential delays in development.

 

We also explore something deeper:

Even if it’s not in the milk… it’s still in the room. Your child sees everything.

 

So if you’ve been feeling conflicted, this episode isn’t here to judge—it’s here to help you find clarity.

 

You’ve already shown your strength. Now let’s help you keep it.

 

If you’re a new mum, pregnant, or planning to be, STRIVE Foundations can help you navigate this journey without alcohol.

 

You don’t have to be ready to quit—just ready to look.
