I've heard that it does, but never actually read it anywhere official, so I assumed it was an old wives' tale.
Well, last night I went out to dinner with some girlfriends and had a couple vodka tonics. That was the first time I'd had any alcohol since the babies. And oh my goodness, I had to wake the babies up to eat several times last night because I was uncomfortably engorged. I was only away from the babies for about two hours at dinner, so it wasn't a case of going too long between feedings and getting engorged.
Still today, my supply seems overabundant (which is strange, since I'm usually pretty drained from feeding two babies). The only thing I could think of that I did differently was the two drinks.
Was it the alcohol? Or just a coincidence that my supply finally seems to have caught up?
