Apparently there is a product that allows you to test breastmilk for alcohol content so you can see if it is safe to give to your newborn.
I guess this is a good idea; it seems like it will help babies. But it just seems weird. I would like to be able to judge new mothers for drinking while breastfeeding, but I am reluctant to.
I would definitely judge them for drinking while preggo, but I can sort of understand drinking after the kid is born. There isn't the same blood link as in the womb.
I know having a new screaming, crying kid would drive me to drink, but at the same time, I don't really like the idea of the people who are responsible for those newborns being intoxicated.
Essentially, I'm torn on this issue. Feel free to comment.
