Maybe: We don't know how much alcohol it takes to affect your unborn baby. Because of this the recommendation is no alcohol while you are pregnant. But cheer up; an occasional glass of red wine can be beneficial if you are breastfeeding!

Probably: The effect of high dose exposure is well known and worrisome.Data on the low level exposure of infants to alcohol is difficult to come by because of problems with study design and population variables. We know th brain of a baby is changing rapidly in the first years.We also know alcohol breaks down to formaldehyde at the cellular level, which harms cells. I can never recommend avoidable exposure
