Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. So, I would like to know if beer is a galactagogue or a milk suppressant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, beer does have a certain lactogenic effect, but it is not suitable for nursing mothers to use beer to stimulate milk production. This is because the alcohol in beer can also enter the breast milk, which is equivalent to the baby drinking beer. This is extremely harmful to the baby's growth and development. It is recommended that you maintain a regular routine in daily life, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, and drink plenty of hot water. I hope my explanation can help you!
