<<Recently, a  Dutch researcher presented a study that indicates that alcohol 
during pregnancy  and lactation is worse than untill now presumed. She 
advises absolutely no  alcohol whatsoever during pregnancy and no breastfeeding 
during 3 hours after  each glass of alcoholic drink (so 6 hours after 2 standard 
glasses of wine or  beer, etc). Habitual (daily) drinking is discouraged.>>

 
************************************************
Gonneke, what were the  results of the study?  What did she mean by "worse 
than until now  presumed?"  I'd be curious to see the study -- although if in 
Dutch, I'm  afraid I'd be out of luck!  I harken back to the days when in order 
to stop  preterm labor, we ran alcohol IVs on the moms in L&D, and if the mom 
thought  she was in labor, but wasn't sure, a glass of wine was recommended -- 
if it  wasn't labor, the contractions would stop and she'd have a nice nap -- 
if it was  labor, (full term) it didn't do anything.  
 
By the way, I agree that  the more we prohibit things, the less likely the 
mom will be to breastfeed --
