Craving Holiday Drinks? 3 Delicious Mocktails to Spice up the Season

Whether you’re pregnant, nursing, or pumping there’s no reason you can’t enjoy one of our favorite, tasty mocktails to spice up your holidays and ring in the new year!

According to the CDC, not drinking alcohol is the safest option for breastfeeding mothers. However, it’s okay to have one standard drink per day and best to wait two to three hours before nursing and pumping. We recommend you talk to your doctor first and use your best judgement. 

In the meantime, shake and stir up one of these festive drinks for a worry-free indulgence!
