That was my impression, too.

I can’t help but point out the color and gender of the prisoner, and the gender of the judge. I wonder if the elements of the story would have been the same if this was a white female defendant or a male judge.

I live about 5 minutes from this part of Miami. I am a gringa, and I speak much better Spanish than my half Latino son. I use it at work every day.

I am in a specialty where I deal with women of infants all the time. Most women do not end up breastfeeding. I talk to them all the time. I think the anti breastfeeding reaction in the popular media is overwhelming, actually. You can’t throw a stick without someone painting all public health messaging about…

According to LactMed, the waiting time is about two hours unless you're a chronic alcoholic or slammed 5 drinks. Most of the time nursing mothers don't do either. The only time you need to pump and dump is if you're trashed, and then you'd be too drunk to feed a baby with a bottle, too.

She only needs to do that if she’s a chronic alcoholic or had more than 5 drinks in a short period of time. Alcohol in blood and breastmilk peaks at two hours and is negligible after one or two drinks.

I posted the link to LactMed, and I’ll post it again:

You were not managed appropriately, and I’m sorry. Anyone who is miscarrying and is stable should be offered the option of medication or a procedure along with watching waiting. If you have a fever or are otherwise showing signs of infection or being unstable, you should have an immediate uterine evacuation.

Here is the full LactMed Site for pharmokinetics and breastfeeding in the National Library of Medicine.

Also, if your BAC is 0.04, your breastmilk has less that 1/2 of 1 proof. No reason to dump.

If you’re weaning, pumping is counter intuitive. You want your body to decrease supply by receiving less demand signals. Mastitis and plugged ducts usually don’t occur in women with well established breastfeeding who just miss one feeding. Mastitis and plugged ducts don’t occur every time a women is engorged. Yes,…

Mastitis usually doesn’t happen by missing one feeding. This is a complicated topic, but pumping and dumping usually isn’t necessary. Many women think they have to pump and dump after a single drink or two, and that is not the case. As long as they are sober enough to hold the baby or drive, they can still breast-feed.

Also, I’m not going to reply again to every comment telling me no one thinks this is what pump and dump means, but did you all miss the comment I’m replying to? It literally says to pump and dump a few times “until it’s clear” implying the pumping helps clear it.

I’m surprised no one has heard of this theory, but I may encounter discussions about this more because of my profession and the circles I travel in. There’s nothing wrong with ever pumping in lieu of breastfeeding to maintain supply or to alleviate engorgement. However, BAC is equal to alcohol content in the breast.…

I have, but there’s a wide range of reactions to this discussion. Ice heard of people recommending to pump and dump and then feed immediately after one glass of wine, which is ridiculous.

I have, but there's a wide spectrum of experiences in this area.

Also, FYI, from my side of the fence, I see physicians recommending women stop breastfeeding to take meds more than vice versa. It’s not just your lactivist straw women who have issues with that science. I’ve actually lectured to other doctors about this topic. But thanks for the attempt to teach me the evidence.

Sure, you can pump if you’re engorged or want to maintain supply, but that’s not the theory behind pumping and dumping. People think you pump out the contaminated milk and it’s replaced by fresh milk from glands that are apparently not connected to the blood stream

I’m a physician. I’m not sure what you’re reacting to. I refer breastfeeding moms to the LactMed app and rarely recommend they avoid medications unless indicated by the science you seem so upset about. But, still, pumping and dumping makes no scientific sense, regardless if it’s alcohol or another substance. Time…

Pumping and dumping does not work. Breast milk contains the same levels of whatever contaminant you’re trying to dump as the bloodstream. You’ll just make more with the same contaminant. The only way to clear it is time. That’s like saying you’ll keep breathing out boozey breaths to get rid of the booze in the…
