"Your breast milk is now a glass of wine"
Lee Davy tackles a topic many shy away from: the safety of drinking alcohol while breastfeeding. In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy confronts the dangerous myth that it's okay to have a drink or two once your baby arrives. He dives into the science, explaining how alcohol passes into breast milk and can impact a baby's development and behaviour. The episode is not about shaming mothers but sharing truths that often go untold.
Lee shares his personal experiences and observations from watching mothers struggle with breastfeeding, highlighting the emotional turmoil when things don't go as planned. He questions why society accepts alcohol as part of motherhood, even when it could harm a child. Through engaging anecdotes and relatable metaphors, Lee encourages mothers to rethink their choices and consider the long-term effects of alcohol exposure on their children.
With humour and empathy, he asks listeners to reflect on their motivations for drinking and offers support for those looking to reduce or eliminate alcohol from their lives. Whether you're a new mum or know someone who is, this episode is a compelling listen that challenges societal norms and offers heartfelt advice.
