There is a new study conducted by a reputable agency that’s bound to stir up some controversy. It concerns alcohol use by breastfeeding mothers, a topic that many people have considered taboo for so long and simply thought it to be bad. But, the La Leche League says that there is no evidence to suggest that a mother who has an occasional drink will transmit the alcohol content to their baby during breastfeeding and that it is the amount of alcohol that is more of concern.
Key Takeaways:
- When the weather is hot, many pregnant women would need a drink but generally, drinking by pregnant women is considered a bad idea.
- When mothers consider the end price of what they will get when they make sacrifices by not drinking – a baby – they will consider it worth it.
- It has been shown that when the mother that is breastfeeding drinks occasionally or just one glass a day, there is no harm to the baby from breastmilk.
