Ruth i was going to suggest the same thing...

Im still not drinking due to BF.
A couple of times i have felt like a glass of red and so have waited until MJ goes to bed so it has time to clear from my system, but like sods law, she alwasy wakes in 2 hours needing a feed and i feel so guilty so i dont really bother now.

The beer on a hot day (not that there has been any days like that for a while ) is the hardest... i found that the non alcoholic beer that you can by from Safeway tastes EXACTLY like you are having a beer... so drink that at times (i like the coopers the best).
I wouldnt bother with the non alcoholoic Wine it is Gross, i have tried loads and they really cant mimic the flavour.

The other thing i found, Your taste changes when you are pg and bf too, the drinks that i use to love tasted yuck, so couldnt enjoy them anyway.

BTW i was a big drinker pre pg and even though i have had a few cravings (the worst was Aust day, it was hot and the spirit was there, there was a festival in the park behind us and i really wanted a beer!!!) they are easy to work through with the thought of your bubba.

People told me it would be ok to have a drink here or there, but imo i would beat myself upp EVERY day if MJ had something wrong. I knew that there was always a chance that something could go wrong, but i wanted a clear conscience so i couldnt blame myself iykwim

To me, having a baby is a sacrific, but one that i am sooooo happy to make... it continues, financially. emotionally and physically and i reckon, judging by my parents, never ends
HTH
