"Some traditional English sweet stouts, referred to as milk and cream stouts for the milk sugar (lactose) or whey added to the brew, were thought of as pick-me-ups for invalids and, as recently as the mid-1900s, were frequently recommended to nursing mothers by medical professionals."

Yes, nursing with a Guinness....

You are correct. But Guinness is a "dry" stout, not a sweet stout (ie Mackeson's). So my theory on nursing carries the day. ;o)

BTW, put that awesome tagline back into your screen name. I was just gettin' used to it....
