may be that the dose of alcohol reaching the lactating infant is small, and
tests of infants and toddlers have limited ability to pick up small effects.

babies - they preferred an alcohol-scented toy in one study. This suggests that
it may promote alcohol ingestion in adolescence and adulthood.Now THAT is very
interesting and suggests a susceptibility. If a child grows up seeing alcohol
use, and is already comfortable with the flavor, then there could be an
increased susceptibility. Remember, I am talking about sensible and moderate alcohol

poor parenting.However, there are no good studies that show harm from sensible

Lee) This is the study on 12 babies, where 1 took more and 11 took in less milk
than the feed before? That's the only study I am aware of that showed this
result. That study assumed a baseline amount of milk consumption at a feed; we
know from all the great research from Western Australia that there is no such
thing.
