Moms-to-be, here’s another reason why you should stop drinking — Downing alcoholic beverages, even in a small quantity, while pregnant can weaken a mother’s bond with her child, says a new study.
Researchers at the Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University have based their findings after looking at 130 first-time moms with varying levels of alcohol intake.
After the births, the researchers looked at issues including delivery type, length of hospital stay, pregnancy and labour complications, maternal attachment and post-natal
drinking habits.
Subsequently, all the mothers were asked a series of questions after giving birth to determine the level of their attachment to their child.
