For me, I wanted to do only the best for my babies. I did everything I could to protect them- the last thing I would have dreamed of doing was eating/drinking anything that might harm them.
Yes, and all the rest of us who ate or drank something on the "not recommended" list doesn't give a shit about their kids?
Seriously the stupidity of some people is just mind blowing.
Have you adopted that same level of anally retentive and judgmental behavior now that your child is here?
Let me guess, you grow your own fruit and vegetables and make sure your kid has a perfectly balanced macrobiotic diet yes? Because anything else, by your standards is below par right?
OP, I drank alcohol with both pregnancies and both DSs are awesome. I deemed the risk to my baby insignificant because I'd researched what I'd needed to before drinking alcohol. I only listened to the opinions of those I trusted and respected, none of whom are on this thread.
Trust yourself and your own mind. You're an educated adult who can make a decision as to whether a half glass of shandy is going to affect your baby.
But if it makes you feel better, that half glass of shandy or whatever, goes through your bandy first. And that alcohol is processed by your liver first. Which is why, if you're drinking such minute amounts of alcohol, there is likely to be no rush to your baby - your body will process the alcohol before it even gets to the baby.
The only time your baby may be affected is if you're slamming shots, and drinking alcohol before your liver can process it.
Enjoy the glass at your parents 50th. Or don't. It is totally your decision, and as long as it's an informed decision and not one based on arrogance or ignorance, you will be fine
