and effects on child outcomes and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
Ninety percent
(90%) of mothers breastfed for an average of 19.9 months. Of mothers
who drank postpartum and breastfed (MDPB), 47% breastfed for 12
months or more. In case control analyses, children of MDPB were
significantly lighter, had lower verbal IQ scores, and more anomalies
in comparisons controlling for prenatal alcohol exposure and final
FASD diagnosis.
