[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alcohol during pregnancy is not a good thing for the developing baby. Why would it be?[/quote] It’s like people don’t understand the point of the book. You are convinced any amount of alcohol is harmful to the fetus, even though the author clearly shows that there is no evidence to back up that assertion.[/quote] She never argues that alcohol is GOOD for the baby. Just that there’s no evidence that small amounts of alcohol (not binge drinking) is harmful. The book is about weighing risks and making your own decisions. For example, I’m sure caffeine isn’t good for the baby, but small amounts seem to pose no risk. Caffeine is very good for me and me succeeding in my job, so I drink it during pregnancy even though there’s no evidence it’s GOOD for the baby. [/quote]
