I would bet that Geo. Washington's mother drank beer since water wasn't safe to drink at that time. And I would bet that she breastfed little George.

The government needs to shut up and butt out.

There is a local hospital that used to provide beer for breast feeding mothers because it helped them relax, hydrate and get certain minerals.

This mother will never be able to take her child to Children’s Hospital in Boston. They’ll take permanent custody of the child, throw her in the psych unit for a year and charge her for for child endangerment.

When my wife breastfed, she was told to drink beer. It would help with let-down reflexes and improve milk production. It did and it does.

Women have been drinking beer for hundreds of years to help with breastfeeding.

We are a totalitarian fascist state.

How much alcohol gets into breast milk and how long does it take? If the milk ends up with the same alcohol percentage as the mother’s blood, then she would be at 0.2 proof when she’s drunk enough to not be allowed to drive.

My doctor prescribed two heavy beers a day while I was nursing. One with lunch, one with dinner. He said that three wouldn’t hurt, but told me not to go past that. (German doctor) I didn’t have that much (because I didn’t like alcohol back then), but I did have one before bed a few times a week.

Beer drinking is recommended on many breastfeeding forums and there’s zero evidence that it’s harmful to the child. There are compounds in beer that may help the let-down reflex. We’re not talking about getting drunk. We’re talking about a couple of beers.

People really need to mind their own business. Everyone thinks that they’re a doctor now days. Worse, they feel that they have the right to butt in to personal situations with impunity.

Screw that scumbag cop, too. We couldn’t have a nanny state without them as willing accomplices.

When my oldest was born the pediatrician actually recommended a small glass of wine or beer to help relax and get things flowing.

I am happy that the busy body butinski waitress was fired. I also m\noticed that they showed a picture of the perp’s husband but not of the butinski waitress. Want to bet that she isn't married and doesn't have anything to do with the father, if she even knows who the father is?

What is more of a hazard to a child a mom who has a drink at dinner while breast feeding or one that raises a child without benefit of a father?

I think our population would be about 50% smaller without alcohol.
