Hoppy beer while breastfeeding?

Question

Hello ladies!

My milk supply has significantly decreased and I was looking online for natural ways to increase my supply. I've read fenugreek (sp?), oatmeal, and lots of water should help, but now I'm curious about the hoppy beer that was suggested as well. Has anyone ever drank one and had an increase in supply? What amount worked? Half a beer? I don't want to try it if it doesnt work but I'm getting desperate! Please let me know your experiences!

Answer

Try mother's milk tea and lactation cookies made with Brewers yeast

Answer

My boss took classes with La Leche League and they suggested to drink hoppy beer. They said limit it to one per day but it's supposed to help with supply. It's only liquor that you'd have to pump and dump. I'm gonna try it :) we'll see if it works!

Answer

Check out "The Nursing Mother's Guide to Making More Milk." It's even available in Nook form.  It helped me understand my supply.

My lactation consultant told me to drink mother's milk tea,  eat oatmeal,  and drink beer.  I drank a case of Alaskan Summer Ale the summer my daughter was born. It helped my PPD, and may have helped my supply.

Answer

If you drink it while your baby is nursing, it will be out of your system by the time for the next feeding. It's weird, I know, but that's thr best time to drink while nursing.

You could also buy Brewers yeast. You can find it at most health food stores. No alcohol, but it's what's in beer that's supposed to help with production.

Answer

My midwife said to drink a Guiness...said it was great for milk production.  Haven't had the opportunity to try it but that's what she said!
