Mariah was informed by a hospital staffer that drinking a dark beer would assist her in lactating. She informed social workers she simply followed the hospital staffer's advice and drank the Guinness, never hiding the fact.



Mariah's lawyer, Laura Wasser, was present during the DCFS interview.



DCFS sources said officials have concluded there is no merit in the complaint.
