Milkscreen Breastmilk Alcohol Detection Strips are the quick and easy way for nursing moms to test their breastmilk for the presence of alcohol. The amount of time that alcohol stays in the bloodstream varies with each woman, so determining if it is safe to breastfeed can be difficult.
While pumping and dumping seems like a good solution, it does not remove alcohol from the body. The only way to know if it?s safe to nurse is to wait for the alcohol to leave your bloodstream. In just 2 minutes, this test provides clear, accurate results.
Why use Milkscreen? Easy to use Easy to read Quickly provides accurate results After 2 minutes, you?ll receive a clear positive or negative reading. If alcohol is present, the strip changes color to alert you of a positive result. These results quickly inform you if it is safe to breastfeed or if an alternative food like pre-stored expressed milk should be offered.

Worked Great Review by Nicole
Rating I used these when I went to all day wine tasting event while nursing twins. I pumped while there and tested my milk. I only had to throw out 6 oz worth at the end of the day. Great invention. (Posted on 1/11/11)

Terrific product for breastfeeding moms! Review by MemphisBelle
Rating I took a breastfeeding class before my son was born and I did learn that you DON'T have to "pump and dump" if you have an occasional alcoholic beverage. Alcohol metabolizes in your system and our class was basically told that, once you longer feel the effects of alcohol, you're fine to nurse your baby. Also, the concentration of alcohol is usually highest in breastmilk anywhere from 30 mins to 1.5 hours after consumption. The time it takes will depend on how much alcohol you've had, your weight, food ingested, etc.
Well, my husband still wasn't as convinced so, even if I didn't feel any effects after having a small glass of wine or a beer, I would wait at least a couple of hours just to be on the safe side.
Imagine my surprise when I was picking up breastfeeding supplies and saw this product! I thought it can't be this easy, right? The first couple of times I used the strips, I had the same results and reaction as a previous reviewer--negative for questionable amount of alcohol and wondering if this product really works. Now, both times I only had one drink, waited a couple of hours (I had bottles of expressed milk on hand) and then tested before bed (so I could nurse my son).
After feeling like I might have wasted my money, I still decided to keep using them (they're already paid for) and was glad I did. The third use showed alcohol in my system. I had two small glasses of wine and tested about an hour after finishing the 2nd glass. I waited a couple more hours and retested which then showed it was safe to breastfeed.
This is great for any breastfeeding mother who would like an occasional drink. It's no substitute for common sense nor would I make it a habit of drinking just because I can test my milk. Alcohol has been known to decrease milk supply so I only have a drink on occasion. (Posted on 11/7/09)
