Pump and alcohol help

Hi, never drank before whilst pumping so curious as to how it works. I’ve pumped at 5.30x, then had a small red wine with tea. If i was to finish the bottle with partner (so half each) what would I need to do with pumps. I normally would pump once before bed, once about 2/3am and then in the morning at 7am. Thanks in advance

I don’t know the exact amount but I would just pump and dump the rest if your drinking more than one until the alcohols out ( look up how much time per unit) x

You don’t need to pump and dump lovely x the amount of alcohol that actually goes into your breast milk is so minimal that it’s like a drop in the ocean. Obviously if you get drunk then you would need to but if you’re just having a few then it’s fine x

I bought test strips that test for alcohol in my milk. After 2 huckleberry mules it didn't detect anything which I found surprising. The amount of alcohol that goes into milk is minimal unless you're getting drunk.

If you can find baby you're fine. You have to be incredibly drunk for it to be enough to affect baby (gripe water had alcohol in it till like 1993). It's like putting a glass of vodka into a swimming pool. It doesn't do much

Thanks all, I didn’t end up having anymore than the small glass so I’ve pumped as normal but good to know for future
