it's generally considered safe to drink a beer while breastfeeding, I think the tiny amount of alcohol in mouthwash is perfectly safe (tiny amount that ends up in your bloodstream, assuming you're swishing with it n]and not drinking it)

Oh lord I hope so. I drank several beers, several times. My line of thought is that if you are sober enough to drive a car, you are sober enough to nurse. If you are really worried, Walgreens sells breastmilk test strips for alcohol. They are SUPER sensitive. I think you only have to have a BAL of .03 to get negative result. That is cough syrup amount.

I would not chug it or drink it in large quantities - pregnant or not.
