Alcohol & Breast Milk

My interfering Mother-in-law is on my case—again. So, she’s a nurse. That’s doesn’t mean she knows everything. She tells me to either stop drinking wine every night for dinner or stop breastfeeding. Just because she avoids alcohol, why should I?

 Your "interfering MIL" appears to be aware of current research. Studies at the University of California, Riverside, have reported that alcohol is transmitted through a mother’s breast milk. It can have long-lasting effects on fetal brain development and behavior. My guess is that she is concerned about the health and wellbeing of her grandchild. Is there some reason you are unconcerned? Children who were exposed to alcohol in breast milk tend to have lower body weights and growth trajectories.
