i don't think beer can help you increase your milk.Never heard it before.But one thing is for sure, try to eat food rich in protein specially seafoods(those who has shell)And eat a lot of moringa(malunggay leaves) just saute it and put 1 whole egg.Mussels and some species of clam will also help you...

some people say that eating oatmeal helps because of the complex carbs- I don't know if it true but it is worth a try.

I ate oatmeal when I was exclusively pumping ( I did that for 12 months) and I rarely had any supply issues

Mother's Milk tea also might help- it is made of fennel and some other herbs- you can find it at most health food stores-

Stress is a major contributing factor to people having low supply issues, so try to relax. Also if you are sick that can effect supply for a short period of time.

Good luck!

the more you nurse, the more you will make. also, oatmeal, fenugreek and mother's milk tea. you can get the last tow in the health food store. you dont have to drink beer. if worst comes to worse, then you can try a RX drug called reglan, it helps you prodcue more milk but it's really a pill prescribes for stomache problems- you cna ask your doctor about it- how did you know you were'nt producing enough before? many abbies lose weieght in teh begining and it's normal. anyway- try the things i suggested and pump in between feeding

The best thing i've found is a tea called 'mother's milk'...WIC told me it also comes in pill form. it's an all natural herbal remedy...i noticed an increase in supply my first day! hope this helps.

Try "Mothers Milk" tea, it's sold at most health food stores and online.

I had the same issue and this worked for me.

The brewers yeast in the beer is what ppl are taking about. You can find other ways to mix brewers yeast in a beverage. I learned this at one of my BF classes...threw me for a loop!

I tried the whole beer thing and it didn't help at all. Id suggest Fenugreek tablets. It is an herb and it helped me A LOT in increasing milk supply

beer does not increase your milk supply…..

also, alcohol goes into your breastmilk. would you put beer in your formula??

the more you nurse, the more milk you have. dont skip feedings and your body should make enough milk.

Fenugreek tea has been used for centuries to improve milk supply…. I used it with one of my kids… You can get it at the health food store. Skip the beer!!
