Last night was a bad night to indulge

DS2 is 6 weeks and I've been dying for a Guinness. It is my very favorite beer ever. So I did the usual 8pm nursing and had a Guinness as soon as he was done. Well...instead of him waking at 1am to nurse, he woke at 4am to nurse. OMG I had two big boulders on my chest. I was so engorged from the beer and him sleeping so long. I actually woke up and hand expressed because I hurt so bad. So, I guess I won't be having anymore Guinness for awhile because I'm sure not going to wake him to nurse lol!

    I know how you feel. I made oatmeal cookies and indulged in a few before bed one night... It was not a pleasant morning with boulderboobs. =/

    Hate to say it but studies do not bear out that beer increases milk, just that babies generally drink less milk -- so the assumption is that the breasts feeling fuller  after a smaller feed feel fuller making us think we made more.  My guess is that the boulders were from the extra sleep time..... that will take some time to adjust.
