beer for bm supply increase
Just wondering if anyone drank beer to increase your milk supply? Did it work? What kind did you drink (does it matter)? TIA

Re: beer for bm supply increase
Yep I did and do. I also drink an occasional glass of wine..I fully believe its really the alcohol, not necessarily the grain in the beer, since alcohol is a diuretic.
I drink dark beers.
I never tried it but I've also heard that it helps relax you which in turn helps your supply. Relaxed mommas have better production.
I did eat a lot of oatmeal though. Same principle.
Yep I did. The LC & OB told me that the darker the better. I personally don't like guiness types, but new castle & yuengling were awesome and helped a lot. I was told 1 a day would help.
There are a few other ways to help increase supply as well. Eating oatmeal, increasing water intake and increased protein intake all help.
HTH
Yes....I'm not a big beer drinker, but I have definitely found that when I drink it I experience an almost immediate increase in my beer supply.
