Wives tale that actually works...

Li

I hate to admit it but I think I finally found a wives tale that actually works. I'm a FTM that breastfeedd and pumps. I usually get any where from 3-5 ounces per breast per session when I pump.

However, for the last 5 days, I've been drinking 1-2 beers per day because a lot of our friends and family have been coming over to visit. Ever since I started having beer, my pumping sessions have been producing 5-7 ounces per breast within 6-10 minutes. Also, I have the alcohol test strips and my milk is alcohol free every time I test it.

So apparently having beer in moderation really does help you produce more milk. Although, I don't really need to produce more milk, it is still good to know this wives tale actually works incase my milk supply slows down in the future.
