We’ve all experienced those moments. Pink is on a mission (or maybe just navigating her daily life) to connect with fellow parents through her latest Instagram post, which touches on the not-so-glamorous task of pumping breast milk — and the delightful reward that follows.
Moms and wine — it’s a pairing as classic as peanut butter and jelly, wouldn’t you agree? Pink seems to share this sentiment, as evidenced by her latest Instagram snapshot. “Almost finished pumping, and I know what’s coming next,” she captions the photo.
In the image, Pink proudly displays a bottle of rich red wine while the pumping shields are in place, doing their job. That look on her face says it all: pure anticipation for that well-deserved moment after the final few drops of milk fill the containers. It’s that precious time when she can finally indulge in a glass of wine before the next round of pumping or feeding begins.
This isn’t Pink’s first behind-the-scenes glimpse into her pumping routine. She’s committed to keeping it real with those of us tied to the milk machine, and we appreciate her authenticity. As a mother of two, with her son Jameson being her second child (her daughter Willow is now six), Pink has undoubtedly honed her breastfeeding strategy. She’s always been an advocate for nursing, so she likely knows exactly when it’s safe to enjoy a drink after pumping, balancing the needs of her little one with her own.
According to resources like WebMD, mothers are advised to wait about two hours after consuming two drinks (whether it’s 2 oz of liquor, 8 oz of wine, or 2 beers) before breastfeeding again. Of course, it’s always wise to consult your physician with any questions regarding alcohol consumption and your pumping schedule. Personally, I tended to be overly cautious, fearing that my baby would wake up needing to feed right when I was enjoying a sip of wine — especially since he wouldn’t take a bottle.
However, Pink seems to have her routines down pat. If she’s away from her son and just pumping to maintain her milk supply, she probably isn’t worried about needing to rush back to him for a feeding right after that first sip. What a liberating thought!
Pink has consistently championed breastfeeding and continues to keep it real about the much-deserved glass of wine that follows the final evening pump. Here’s to her and all the moms out there who are eagerly waiting for their moment to unwind after a long day with the pump.
