Generally, moderate alcohol consumption is considered safer than heavy drinking, but the effects can vary based on individual circumstances. It's recommended to limit alcohol intake and plan your drinking around feeding times. If you choose to drink, waiting at least 2-3 hours per drink before breastfeeding can reduce potential risks.
