Hi all,
What is the maximum amount of alcohol consumption per day considered
safe for a breastfeeding Mom to take? The Mom in question is an
alcoholic who is fully breastfeeding her 4 month old child. She has
recently started drinking again, she says she takes 4 glasses of wine -
I do not know the size of the glasses!
I really need to know when the risks of alcohol outweigh the risks of
formula. It is unlikely she will be able to cut down the intake as she
has many stresses in her life right now.
I have found all the info in books and research papers that I can but I
would appreciate your views.
