Dear Heather, I remember when a report came out linking dev delay and
alcohol ingestion via br milk. A French ped in our nursery poo-pood the
whole idea. She said then all the babies in France would be
developmentally delayed and she just didn't believe it!
I think we are talking about 2 different things. 1. a mom who has an
occassional glass of wine or a beer with her pizza and 2. an alcoholic. I
think in addition to whatever alcohol the baby gets via breastmilk they
also get very different quality of mothering. This in itself could account
for differences in development. A baby who is fed, but otherwise neglected
has lots of potential for dev delay. Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
