Well, I have CRAVED beer my entire pregnancy - BOTH pregnancies actually.  Not just any beer, the world's BEST beer - Yueingling Lager!  (insert drooling smiley here)

When I had Buggy, I thought that after the pregnancy and birth that I would need to wait until Buggy weaned before I had that beer I was craving.  Now, I don't drink much.  Actually, just the neck of a beer is plenty for me and my legs get all tingly.  I just really love the taste!

Thankfully, after spending some time on the babycenter.com breastfeeding support and help board, I learned that small amounts of alcohol is actually compatible with nursing.  Now I'm just looking forward to when Baby arrives so I can have a few sips to help me get over this craving!  Check out this kellymom link that has all the research about alcohol while breast feeding.
