One of the  items that has been mentioned before on Lactnet and if I dug 
around enough I  could  probably retrieve a few articles on this - is that infants 
whose  mothers ingest alcohol do not feed effectively.  They suckle longer 
and  transfer LESS milk.   And that was from a moderate amount of  alcohol.


Dear Friends:
    This is from Dr. Julie Mennella's study that looked  at 12 babies. 11 of 
them took less milk in the feed after the mother ingested  some alcohol; the 
12th took more.
    However, what is the right amount of milk a baby should  take at a 
nursing. If we took a sip of water  an hour after we ate a big  meal, would we say 
the big meal was inadequate?
    12 is not exactly a statistically significant  sample, either.
    warmly,
