Drinking beer increases breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that drinking beer increases breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers?

Unclear. The only relevant items are a 1988 JAMA letter reporting that consultants found no evidence beer stimulates milk production (with a prolactin rise as a proxy) and a Bhutanese study documenting the cultural belief that alcohol increases milk flow without testing it. Neither measures milk output, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim and leans against it.
