RE: alcohol levels in pumped milk

[Guest guest]

The researcher you’re thinking about is A. MennellaHere is an abstract to one of her papers :http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11329500 Ghislaine Reid, IBCLCConsultante en lactationLactation Consultant De : [mailto: ] De la part de BeebeEnvoyé : 21 décembre 2011 14:39À : Objet : Re: alcohol levels in pumped milk I can't remember the name of the researcher, but she did a presentation here in seattle and it was about alcohol and she also did a talk on taste experiences of fetuses as well as breastfed babies. I can find it if you remind me after Christmas! but she said it doesn't matter how long you freeze it store it or whatever. it's the same as it was initially. I know. I was surprised too!

Not quite, .

Alcohol moves freely between milk and the mother's blood stream. As long as the milk is *still in the breast* it has the same alcohol level as the mother's blood. This is not due to being a living tissue, but instead due to how alcohol crosses into the milk. Other substances do not have a 1.0 milk:plasma ratio, but alcohol does. Once the milk is pumped, the alcohol level remains the same over time as when it was originally pumped, because the alcohol cannot filter back to the blood stream to get filtered out by the mother's kidneys.

With parties ahead of us this season of the year, I am looking for references concerning the alcohol in milk that has peen pumped soon after a mother has been drinking.Specifically: - the percentage of alcohol in the pumped milk - how long it stays in the pumped milk Thank you!norma, cross posting Norma Ritter, IBCLC, RLC

That's because only *part* of the link remained active when it was posted, Ghislaine. Try copying from http all the way through 347, and then pasting that in your browser box (window?? I'm such a dinosaur!) I did that and it worked.

Thank you for the tip.  Unfortunately... still getting a blank page.  It’s baffling. I used to be able to find this paper very easily.  Today... nothing seems to work. I’ll try again tomorrow.
