Hi,
My dd is 5 months old and sleeping through night until 7am. Have generally been drinking about 1 glass of wine an evening since she has been sleeping through. However, am going out tonight and would like to have 2 glasses! Do you think that will be ok or not? Have read some alarming stuff on moderate drinking affecting baby's motor development and am now feeling guilty about drinking at all!!

Yes you can have 2 glasses IMO.

God yes!
I'd have had three (or even four) and not felt guilty at all.

Wine saved me through trials (and great joys!) of b/feeding.

Have a nice evening.

Thanks, she is slightly underweight and have been worrying that it may be down to my drinking wine.

My only problem with drinking 2 is I get a shocking hangover!

CA,that would be soooo not true.
She's slim,so what?
Better than being too fat.
If you are bothered,just feed more.

It's true about the hangovers though.

I now drink less than I ever have in 20 years!
