Sadly, this needs to be a reference to your bathtub, not a spirited
beverage. It can be so tempting to just have ½ glass of wine, or a
beer, or even a little coffee. But I am telling you it is not worth it.
Alcohol and caffeine are diuretics and will rob you of the precious
hydration you need to flush toxins from your postpartum body. They will
also stimulate or depress your sensitive nervous system that is
struggling to get itself back in order. Additionally they can disrupt
your ability to sleep. Even if you fool yourself into thinking that
wine helps you sleep, it might help you ‘fall’ asleep, but the sleep
you get will not be as quality as the sleep you would have had without
it. Just hang in there! The more disciplined you are now the sooner
this will be behind you! Honestly, it might taste good for a moment,
and feel good, in the long run it’s no good.
