what do you think about drinking while you are breastfeeding?

I figured it was ok to have the odd glass (or two) when the private hossy I was in for DS1 offered mums a glass of red or white with the evening meal .
Funny, I didn't drink very much while BFing DS1 - didn't deny myself, just limited it to one glass once or twice a week with a meal. But with DS2 ... let's just say that while my consumption has still been "in moderation", I've definitely been more relaxed about it. Didn't help that DS2 arrived two weeks before Xmas ...

I actually thought that as much as anything, our new baby's liver had to break down the alcohol that went into their system ... so that is why it should be limited.

i'm not sure how much she drank, but she usually drinks every day/night
