Answer by dancer
12 hours it will be safe to breastfeed again.

But it will take about 20-24 hours to be out of your bloodstream.

One to two hours on average, depending on how much you've ate and how much water you've consumed.

Answer by Slassy Girl
It depends on how much you weigh and the speed of your metabolism. No one can give you a specific time period, you'll have to leave it up to your judgment.

Answer by Allie
My understanding is that one bottle of beer is out of your system and your milk in 3 hours. I don't know how that would compare to 8 oz. of wine that's 12 % alcohol. If you are not feeling any effects from the alcohol then you should be fine to breast feed.

Answer by daa
An hour or two, approximately. Once you are no longer feeling the effects of the alcohol, you can safely resume breastfeeding.
