Can i drink a little bit of beer? breastfeeding baby is two weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I discourage it: Alcohol suppresses prolactin secretion & lowers milk production.It also enters the milk & baby.There is no known safe level for alcohol exposure in children. The breakdown products of alcohol have a direct toxic effect on babies growing brain cells. Many do drink some while breast feeding, but given the issues, i cannot support the practice.
