Re: beer and breast feeding?

David - 

I'd never flame you for this.  Even if beer is nutritional in certain ways, I 
am quite sure that the same nutrients could be readily obtained from 
non-alcoholic and therefore safer (to baby) sources.  Beer has no "unique" 
qualities in the world of foodstuffs.  My gut (so to speak) reaction to this 
is that it is purely someone's rationalization of their desire to include 
ETOH in their diet while breastfeeding.
