Dear colleagues,
A valuable reference I refer mothers to when asked about alcohol  
intake is the Canadian Motherisk document "Drinking Alcohol While  
Breastfeeding - Will it Harm My Baby?" Motherisk is a respected  
organization affiliated with the Hospital for Sick Children and the  
University of Toronto that offers evidence based information to  
mothers and professionals on the safety of medications, products and  
everyday exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The document  
contains a chart based on alcohol intake, mother's weight and time  
that mothers find a useful as a guide.  www.motherisk.org/women/updatesDetail.jsp?content_id=347
Warmly, Meggie
