Alcohol concentration in mother's milk is indeed nearly exactly what it is
in her blood, within a short period after consumption.
But the baby drinks a small amount of milk, and the alcohol in the milk is
thus diluted in the baby's entire body fluid volume.
Please do not confuse the effects of drinking while pregnant, when fetal
blood alcohol is the same as the mother's at any given moment, and of
drinking while breastfeeding, when the child's blood alcohol is a very very
small fraction of the mother's.
