Babies nurse for many reasons. They may be hungry, tired, thirsty, uncomfortable, lonely, or heard a weird noise. All are important reasons to offer baby the breast.

Can you breastfeed and have a drink? Many parents have questions about alcohol and breastfeeding, and clear information can help ease worries.

Alcohol passes into human milk at the same level as it is in your blood, and the amount your baby receives is directly related to how much you drink. For occasional drinking, alcohol has not been shown to be harmful to babies. As alcohol leaves your bloodstream, it also leaves your milk. Pumping and dumping does not remove alcohol, except to relieve fullness or discomfort.

A baby’s age, how much alcohol is consumed, whether food is eaten, and the time that passes all matter. If you are concerned, you can wait for the alcohol to clear from your system, about two hours per drink, or use previously expressed milk.

Read the full article for detailed guidance and safety considerations, including baby age, milk supply, and bed-sharing.

How can I nurse my baby with a stuffy nose?

You can try nursing outdoors, in a steamy bathroom or in upright positions.

If your baby really can’t nurse, expressed milk can tide them over.

What should I do with my used pump?

Many pump manufacturers have recycling programs. They will take their own pumps back and break them down for proper disposal. There is electronic waste with them which can be hazardous in landfills and the underground water supply. You can contact your pump’s manufacturer and see if they take back pumps for recycling.

Too much milk can be just as challenging as too little. If your baby coughs, chokes, pulls off the breast, seems extra gassy, or feedings feel like a struggle, an oversupply could be the cause.

Learn the signs, what causes oversupply, and simple ways to make nursing more comfortable for both you and your baby.

Some things babies need to breastfeed...

1. To be calm. If your baby is upset, take the time to soothe them.

2. Good support. Whether you're reclining or sitting upright, your baby will nurse more easily if they feel secure and supported. Hold them so their head, neck, and shoulders are gently supported, and make sure their chest is facing your chest—“tummy to tummy.” Babies who don’t feel stable may flail their arms or struggle to latch.

3. Lower jaw needs room. Your baby's lower jaw needs to be deeply placed on your breast. If you are holding your breast while they are latching, hold your fingers well away from where their chin and lower jaw needs to be.

4. Choose their own timing. Instructions for nursing sometimes say, "Latch your baby when her mouth is open really wide." Mammal mothers rarely need to take that much control over a feeding, and their babies don't expect it. Your baby will probably do best if she picks the moment. Your job is to have your baby well supported, within easy reach of the breast.

5. To be able to tilt their heads back. To nurse, your baby needs to approach the breast chin-first, then stay in close chin contact with the breast, nose lifted free or nearly free from the breast. Tipping their head back a bit helps with swallowing. Line them up nose-to-nipple (not lips-to-nipple) before they open their mouth. As they open their mouth they will tip their head back.
