One of the items that has been mentioned before on Lactnet and if I dug
around enough I could probably retrieve a few articles on this - is that infants
whose mothers ingest alcohol do not feed effectively. They suckle longer
and transfer LESS milk. And that was from a moderate amount of alcohol.
Dear Friends:
This is from Dr. Julie Mennella's study that looked at 12 babies. 11 of
them took less milk in the feed after the mother ingested some alcohol; the
12th took more.
However, what is the right amount of milk a baby should take at a
nursing. If we took a sip of water an hour after we ate a big meal, would we say
the big meal was inadequate?
12 is not exactly a statistically significant sample, either.
