Beer consumption by nursing women altered the sensory qualities of their milk and the behavior of their infants during breast-feeding in the short term. The infants consumed significantly less milk during the 4-hr testing sessions in which their mothers drank alcoholic beer compared to when the mothers drank nonalcoholic beer; this decrease in milk intake was not due to a decrease in the number of times the babies fed. Although the infants consumed less of the alcohol-flavored milk, the mothers believed their infants had ingested enough milk, reported that they experienced a letdown during nursing, and felt they had milk remaining in their breasts at the end of the majority of feedings. Moreover, the mothers terminated the feeds the same percentage of time on both testing days. The mechanism by which the consumption of alcoholic beer by lactating women decreases milk intake by their nurslings remains to be determined.
哺乳期女性饮用啤酒会在短期内改变她们乳汁的感官特性以及母乳喂养期间婴儿的行为。与母亲饮用无酒精啤酒时相比，在母亲饮用酒精啤酒的4小时测试时段内，婴儿摄入的乳汁量显著减少；乳汁摄入量的减少并非由于婴儿吃奶次数的减少。尽管婴儿摄入的含酒精味乳汁较少，但母亲们认为自己的婴儿已摄入足够的乳汁，报告称她们在哺乳期间经历了排乳反射，并且感觉在大多数喂奶结束时乳房中仍有乳汁。此外，在两个测试日中，母亲终止喂奶的比例相同。哺乳期女性饮用酒精啤酒导致其婴儿乳汁摄入量减少的机制尚待确定。
