FRIEND 1: So, Shannon. What's the deal with drinking and breast feeding? Can you do it at all?
SWINGBUG: Yeah, you can, occasionally. You just have to be smart about it. Don't have a drink and then go off to feed the baby right away. You have to wait a few hours.
[Long conversation ensues. If you are actually interested in this topic, check out the info at La Leche's website.]
SWINGBUG: The best thing to do if you want to have a beer or something is to feed the baby a bottle of previously pumped milk, and then go pump off the milk after your drink and throw it out."
MOTHER 2: You mean to tell me you've never had a glass of wine and then breastfed your kid to make him go to sleep?
SWINGBUG: No, I can honestly say that I've never... Wait a minute – does that work?
