Julie,

Could you clarify the above for me?  Is that one drink or more per
day, per week, etc.?  Would someone who drank 2 or 3 drinks one day,
none the next etc, but averaged, say, 5 a week be in the former or
latter group?  Also, does the "at one year" refer to mums who've been
drinking this way since the birth, or only at that period in time?

Thanks,
