According to research the old idea that drinking alcohol while breastfeeding is okay, may actually be incorrect.
The new study says that drinking while breastfeeding may actually negatively impact a child’s cognition.
The study was published in the journal “Pediatrics” recently titled “Drinking or Smoking While Breastfeeding and Later Cognition in Children.”
The study involved 5,107 Australian infants starting in 2004 and checking every two years until the kids were 11. The researchers looked at the link between drinking and smoking habits of breastfeeding mothers and children’s “abstract reasoning.”
