I just had my baby about 4 days ago. Cinco de mayo is coming up and I wanted to have a few drinks and celebrate the holiday and my baby coming out of the nicu and coming home. I am an overproducer and make way too much milk for him to ever drink so when I pump I freeze the extra milk. I have enough milk saved right now for about 5 to 7 feeds and he takes both bottle and breasts.
Is it okay for me to have my drinks when we get home and just give him the bottles of milk I have saved until I sober up from the drinks or should I skip the celebration and feed him straight from my breasts and use the saved milk another time?
I have both regular milk and colostrum saved and have a LOT of it too, just wanted some advice because him being in the nicu has been stressful and I just wanted to celebrate and have a good time. Of course I wouldn’t be getting drunk, just tipsy after 9 months of complete sobriety lol.
