Trusted by moms for over 10 years, UpSpring MilkScreen Test Strips for Alcohol in Breast Milk detect alcohol in breast milk, even at low levels, so you can feel reassured knowing your breast milk is ready for your baby. While the overall recommendations (by AAP, World Health Organization (WHO), and others) are to avoid alcohol, a small or standard drink is considered acceptable. Breastfeeding should be avoided for at least two hours after alcohol consumption. Alcohol is metabolized and eliminated from the bloodstream and breasts over time. As a result, it is not recommended to pump and dump the milk but rather wait before the next feeding if possible. No two women metabolize alcohol at the same rate. There are many factors that affect the metabolism of alcohol, such as body weight, the type and amount of alcohol you drink, and how much and when you've last eaten. Easy, fast, and accurate, breastfeeding moms can celebrate and have peace of mind in just two minutes. Simply saturate the MilkScreen alcohol test strips with breast milk. If the test pad changes color at two minutes, alcohol is present (at or above 13.1 mg/dL). No more guessing. UpSpring, a leading brand in maternity nutrition for nearly two decades, is committed to leading the way in women's health solutions through integrity, quality, and innovation. We are dedicated to enhancing the wellness journey of women at every stage, recognizing that your health is fundamental to the vitality of society as a whole. This product is not intended to be used in the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of alcohol intoxication, poisoning, or other health-related conditions in women or nursing babies.
