Breastfeeding and Alcohol
Rob, thanks for bringing up the old wives’ tale that drinking beer increases breast milk production. As you noted, Dr. Greene’s review of recent studies says it’s not true. Mothers are sometimes tempted to try anything when they’re struggling with breastfeeding, and we understand how overwhelmed new parents can feel when difficulties arise. You may be interested in more information about the benefits of breastfeeding as well as some ways to make nursing easier.
Plus, “Raising Baby Green” and “From First Kicks to First Steps” are also great resources.
