Is
it safe to have an occasional glass of wine at dinner if you are
exclusively breastfeeding your baby?
Yes,
it is safe. Particularly when you drink the wine with dinner, it
is absorbed very slowly with food and should not pose a problem.
In many countries of the world, wine is consumed regularly at
both lunch and dinner as a normal course of events. In general,
small amounts of wine with a meal does not pose a risk to the
baby.
