My poor mom never got to eat solid food for like two days after having us, since she had c-sections.

Hair: too soon for beer, yes. Is she breastfeeding? I wonder what beer would do to milk.

Well, when we were babies.... our moms were told a little wine while breastfeeding would settle the baby at night ;~D

I've read that German doctors (used to) routinely perscribe beer for breastfeeding moms. It promoted both quantity and quality of the milk. Not the cheap, overprocessed American stuff that comes in cans, but the dark German homebrew type beers.

Is she breastfeeding? I wonder what beer would do to milk.

I read a book about breastfeeding in which a doctor was quoted as saying that "Booze and snooze" were the two things most conducive to successful nursing. ;o)

The German beers are supposed to be heavy in B vitamins which are good for you, but the idea of a beer or a glass of wine from time to time is mostly to relax you, and that's the best thing for nursing mothers.
