The safest amount for a nursing mother is zero. Alcohol passes into breast milk, and your baby's developing liver cannot process it like an adult's can. Regular alcohol consumption can affect your baby's sleep patterns, feeding, and motor development.
If occasionally you find yourself in a special situation where you want a drink, current pediatric opinion is: you must wait at least 2–3 hours (for each drink) before nursing your baby again and pump and dump your milk. But this doesn't eliminate the risk, just reduces it.
In summary: staying completely away from alcohol while breastfeeding is best. Don't assume that "one drink won't hurt."
