I can drink a bit now...beer especially as it helps with lactationMMike said:
How does it help with lactation? Alcohol is dehydrating. The only thing it would help with would be let-down if you're stressed out. The relaxing effect would help. But alcohol actually hinders milk production.TreeSaw said:I can drink a bit now...beer especially as it helps with lactation

Sorry, I just know too many Scots [family - Clan Buchanan, Lowlanders, Gibson Sept] and they pretty much hate single malts.MMike said:
I have no idea, but I was told by my Dr. to drink beer as it would help with lactation. I know that it relaxes you and helps with let down, which in turn helps to better empty the breast which leads to it filling again and over time more production...perhaps that's what she's going for. Whatever the case may be, I am enjoying having Guiness again (and the occassional Basils and I haven't noticed any change in her sleeping habits thus far but I haven't gotten drunk yet either).MMike said:
Don't get drunk and feed the baby. I can't think of much worse than a hungover baby.TreeSaw said:

Maybe I am sensitive because the other day someone called me a poser for riding a fixed gear in SF, despite the fact that I've been riding one since way before it was cool.
Agreed, but only if wearing your shorts. :nuts:SkaredShtles said:Psst. It's still not cool.

LOL! Actually, according to my Dr., very little--if any--alcohol is transmitted through the breast milk...really they don't want nursing mothers to drink in excess because the prolonged dehydration will decrease milk supply. That, and drunk and/or hungover mommies don't make such great care-giversSkaredShtles said:Don't get drunk and feed the baby. I can't think of much worse than a hungover baby.

I haven't gotten drunk while nursing and don't really plan on it anytime soon. I do have a drink or 2 but that's the extent of it and usually I have a sober person present to help with the baby just in case
I'd heard that alcohol makes it into the milk after two hours. My wife always skipped a feeding if she was going to have more than a glass/beer.MMike said:
