Thanks for your advice BarbI'm BF my 18 month old and plan to have 1 or 2 drinks tonight. I liked the scientific info you posted. I also think that when a baby is so young there might be other things to consider... some babies might be more sensitive to it than others... is the baby premmie, has asthma (some preservatioves in wine bring on asthma I think) but on the whole it should be safe like you mentioned. There are certainly more risky things you can do like take you bub into a smokey venue... that's my biggest concern at that age... but OT.
ETA: Great point Liz! : "Plus I prefer to have my wits about me when caring for a baby, especially if co-sleeping you need to be careful with alcohol".
