  • Barley, a main ingredient in stout, contains a polysaccharide that increases prolactin, a milk-production hormone. Oats, another stout ingredient, are also thought to promote healthy milk supply, as is vitamin-B-heavy brewer’s yeast


  • That is a total myth. And it’s alcoholic, so you definitely don’t want to be drinking that while breastfeeding!


  • It is apparently true. But you are better off having brewers yeast. Chemist warehouse sell this in tablet form and I found it helped my supply.
