Does anyone know what is recommended regarding drinking wine for the four cups when nursing (6 month old baby)?

The general measuring stick is 'if you can't drive, you can't nurse'.

Yes, I realize it's a moot point for Seder, but you probably have a good idea who many glasses of wine it takes to make you hand your keys over to the designated driver.

I use a very low alcohol wine. I will use the Bartenura Malvasia (5% alc.), and I'm nursing a 10 month old. I know it's a bit expensive, but it's worth it to me to be able to drink wine and still not worry (too much) about nursing. I try to also drink plenty of water. I have used this for Pesach while nursing in the past with no problems. I am also careful to drink just the minimum shieur.

(Disclaimer: Please ask a physician or lactation consultant about this if either mom or baby have any extenuating medical conditions or circumstances. Also, please take extreme care with any form of co-sleeping after having wine at the Seder.)

Happy Pesach!!

When my son was 10 days old and we took him to the pediatrician for a checkup he told me straight out, "You can drink and you can have caffeine when you're nursing." so I've been living it up!
