No one believes me today but in Britain, in the 70s, whilst nursing my second child, the doctor PRESCRIBED a pint of guiness a day.
Too bad I hated the stuff!

My American doctor told me to have a drink (wine or beer) to help my milk let down. Those were the days!

My mom also has told us that the doctors in her day told her to drink one beer a day while she was pregnant/nursing. She also couldn't stand the stuff, so she didn't. Quite a difference from today's reccommendations, huh?
