I don't have kids. However, I agree this is a highly personal decision.

Ha, I don't remember what my mom's beer of choice was, but her OB told her that beer would increase her milk production for my baby sister. (She never had any trouble making enough milk for me or my middle sister. ) But anyway, she drank the beer, and my baby sister was the only one of us who could stand the taste of beer when we'd ask for a taste as children.

My sister wound up alcoholic (real strong in recovery now) but I don't really think the breast-beer had anything to do with that.


And, my birthday is Nov. 5
