More likely we are seeing increases in ADD and ADHD etc. due to the heavy load of pesticides and other chemicals we have polluted our environment with. Perhaps we should instead forbid moms to breastfeed unless they agree to eat only organically grown foods?? Where does it stop?

I've worked with alcohol affected babies in our practice, have seen them grow into very difficult teens.  Why are we seeing huge increases in things like ADD and ADHD?  Is it casual use of alcohol or opiods or MJ during pregnancy?  Once won't hurt or will it?
