Got Milk?

Milkscreen Tests Breast Milk for Alcohol

Baby is in bed. Check. Hubby is holding down the fort. Double check. You’re with your friends for a girl’s night out. What do you know? Three for three.

But wait! Why is everyone throwing back margaritas like its happy hour in Cancun while you’re still nursing that first glass of Pinot? Don’t they know that alcohol and breast milk don’t mix?

Of course they do. But Mamas who want to unwind now have a secret weapon called Milkscreen. Nothing could be easier. After an evening of cavorting, just pump some milk, dip one of the milkscreen strips in the dubious brew, wait two minutes and voila! If good, bottle it up. If bad, dump it out. Now if only everything in life came with a screener.
