coming out of lurkdom to pick your brains!
What is the current consensus on alcohol's effect on breastmilk SUPPLY?
I did a search in the archives and only seem to be able to pull up the
various arguements on what the safe level of consumption is, transfer to
milk etc. I attended a BF class as an observer last week and the educator
taught that drinking alcohol will increase supply so be careful not to get
too "full" when out at a party! I've looked in my copies of Lawrence and R&A
and the information seems to be conflicting. From what I gather alcohol
increases prolactin but decreases milk ejection. Forgive me because I don't
have the most current copies of these books.
References would be appreciated!
