[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Breast-feeding and alcohol don't mix well. [b]There's no level of alcohol in breast milk that's considered safe for a baby to drink.[/b]

When you drink alcohol, it passes into your breast milk at concentrations similar to those found in your bloodstream. Although a breast-fed baby is exposed to just a fraction of the alcohol his or her mother drinks, a newborn eliminates alcohol from his or her body at only half the rate of an adult."

Translation: we can't do experimental studies on alcohol and nursing women and there is no downside for us to say it is unsafe to drink even though there is no evidence that it causes long term harm to a nursing baby.[/quote]

Translation: the patriarchy thinks women are stupid and don't understand what moderation is so we will put out a blanket statement saying all consumption is bad. [/quote]

55 pct of pediatricians and 60 pct of obgyns are women.  The head of the AAP is a woman.  Wrong decade.  [/quote]
