Drinking while babysitting ?

Baby a couple of months old MIL babysitting for a couple of hours in a few weeks. She drinks not like loads but enough to make me uncomfortable while she’s around my baby. Every time we are there of an evening she’s all over the baby and the baby ends up smelling of alcohol like clothes and stuff. There’s no issue with MIL however I feel like I need to say I don’t want her to drink while babysitting for a couple of hours.. AIBU? if not then how on earth do I say it?!

1 Get your DH to say it.
2 Something along the lines of "below the drink-drive limit, in case of emergencies".

How much is she drinking? I don’t think I’ve ever come across the transfer of alcohol smells on other people’s clothes and I’ve been around people falling down drunk. Personally I would be ok with 2 drinks probably but wouldn’t want anyone in the category of drunk (parents don’t all stop drinking when they’re in charge of their own children) Are there likely to be any other adults present?
