Being a complete non expert in this subject I am asking for advice on behalf of my brother...the issue is as follows
my brother & SIL have a 3 month old baby girl, born 6 weeks early, she was exclusively BF until about 3 weeks ago when she went on to combined BF and FF, the reason for this was so my SIL could have a 'drink or two of an evening'
However my brother is concerned that she is drinking 2 large glasses of wine a night and then breastfeeding DD about 5 hours later..she says the HV has advised that the alcohol would be out of her system by now ..is this right?
Is there any info my brother could easily access ( good websites etc ?) that he could pass on to her ( I do not want to get involved in the ''oh you don't want to do it like that' annoying sister in law routine!!) apparently he is tries to discuss the feeding routine etc she gets very defensive so he wants to broach it more subtly ...
Also on a side issue, shoudl a pre term baby be treated as their actual age or their age from due date IYKWIM? with ref to Calpol dosage etc
