Social media has been buzzing after a psychologist posted a photo on LinkedIn of herself drinking beer from a bottle while breastfeeding her baby. The post, which made its way to Reddit's “LinkedIn Lunatics” community, sparked a lively debate. Many users are divided in their opinions, some question the safety of drinking alcohol while breastfeeding, while others focus on the choice of platform.
Critics argued that LinkedIn, primarily a space for professional networking, was an odd choice for sharing such a personal moment, better suited to platforms like Instagram. The photo and its implications quickly became a hot topic of conversation on the Internet.
Olga Vlachynská recently shared a decade-old photo from her time in Thailand on LinkedIn, along with her New Year's resolution: to finally write a book. In the post, she revealed plans for her first solo vacation in 12 years, a 14-day break from family life that she described as a rare and much-needed escape.
Reflecting on the past decade, Olga humorously recounted her motherhood journey, highlighting 18 months of pregnancy and 71 months of breastfeeding. “But the reproduction chapter is now closed,” she declared, “and it's all about intellectual fornication and raining currency notes,” she added.
The post sparked conversation online, with one person commenting, “Technically, if you're going to drink alcohol while breastfeeding, the best time is when you're actively breastfeeding, because alcohol takes time to get into milk and it's not. Do not stay in the bloodstream indefinitely. That said, I wouldn't openly advertise it on a job site.”
One Reddit user noted, “People who don't have kids might not know this, but contrary to what it seems, this woman is following the safest practice when it comes to drinking time. She is said to be a complete lunatic for posting this on LinkedIn.
Another commenter said: “That's a really cool picture, anyone who really understands breastfeeding knows this is totally fine. It is a 0.25 or 0.33 l light beer. So it's completely harmless.”
One user shared his personal experience, “I have two children. I have experience with lactation consultants. One of them recommended my wife to drink a certain type of beer for milk production.
Another commented on the evolving nature of LinkedIn, saying, “There are more and more Instagram-style posts on LinkedIn now.”
