Dear friends,

As alcohol is/can be a medication I thought I'd check Thom Hale's about it.
He's indicating it as a lactation category L3 and sees it as probably safe in moderate amounts.
It's on page 322 in the 2006 edition. Worthwhile reading stuff!

Warmly,

Gonneke, IBCL, LLLL in drowsy southern Netherlands

responses with baited breath.

It's been about three weeks now?  I'm still waiting with baited breath?


Met vriendelijke groet,
