Hi Sheila,

Big, big, big pet peeve of mine.  Please read, and refer your friend to, Jack Newman's Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers.  A glass of wine or mug of beer is no reason not to nurse, nor is wanting one a reason to wean.  (all this assuming a typical dyad and not mom getting drunk.  common sense.)

Best,

Sherene Raisbeck
