I never saw the harm in a guinness or a glass of wine - I just don't get drunk. I don't want DS to see me like that. I'm also on drugs that affect how alcohol affects me - so even not BFing I don't drink much. That's about looking after DS too.

I still don't have caffeine. DS was hypersensitive to it as a baby, so did me no favours. It woke him up more than me, even filtered down in breastmilk! I gave it up at 6w pg and haven't taken it up again, but that's my choice. Well, I did take chocolate up again the moment DS weaned: 2 days of not wanting milk and that was it, he was weaned and I bought a bag of chocolate brazil nuts!

I also had a small glass of wine a month in pregnancy - nothing too alcoholic, but with weddings, holidays, 80th birthday parties, family gatherings... a small glass was all I would have and even then certain people told me I was being silly and should have more.
