hoppy beer for lactation?

Question

More than one friend has recommended I try a "hoppy" beer. 
Has anyone tried this and found it worked to boost their supply?
If so, which beer did you drink?
Also, my LO breastfeeds sometimes as often as every hour. Would it be safe to have a whole beer right after a feeding then feed again in 1-2 hours?

Answer

If you're sober enough to drive you're sober enough to nurse. A lot of my friends have luck with stoudts.

Answer

Stouts like Guinness are supposed to work. Having one beer and waiting an hour or so should be fine but feel free to ask your Dr. or lactation consultant since everyone's opinion differs!! As someone else said, you can get Brewers yeast...I found mine at GNC and there are recipes on Pinterest for cookies, lactation bites, etc.

Answer

Personally when baby is a newborn I would have a non alcoholic beer.

Answer

My LC told me as long as you feel comfortable getting behind the wheel of a car, it's ok to nurse the baby. So if you drink it and feel fine, you can nurse.

I have heard to try very hoppy beers, in which case I would say try an IPA like New Belgium Ranger or Sam Adams Rebel.

I have also heard to try a dark beer, in which case I will tell you to try a stout or a porter.

Answer

I would recommend using brewers yeast in a cookie or smoothie etc versus drinking beer while nursing. That way you get the potential benefits without having to worry about baby potentially getting the alcohol
