As a breastfeeeding Mother, I get a bit over all the hype that goes with Christmas and the holiday season, spefically around booze! Our society loves a drink, but for the non-drinker, options are often a crappy soft drink or warm tap water.. Thank fully some venues have caught on to the fact that the designated driver would like a bit of variety as well and there are some cool mocktails out there!
Here’s 5 ideas to have a tee-totall tipple this holiday season!
