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.

I think I read some place that stressed out breastfeeding mothers cause cranky and nervous babies. All those stress related hormones and chemicals go in the milk just like the beer. From what I recall the effects of a highly stressed mom are worse for the kid than whatever tiny bit of beer makes it into them.
