Strange. Drinking a beer for nursing mothers is a long recommended addition to the mother's diet. Goes back at least to the forties. This appears to be an exercise in ignorance by the powers that be.

I think my mother was given beer in the hospital right after she gave birth. All mothers who were nursing had a beer with dinner. It kept them hydrated and the beer had calcium, B vitamins and potassium.

Breast feeding seems to make some men deranged.
