I agree - which is why it's an issue with the media being irresponsible, rather than the research itself.]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 20:01:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069241&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069241 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069213&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069213 Author: tictacjunkie

The problem is a lot of people will only see the headlines and skim the first paragraph & then continue drinking, =(.]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 19:37:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069213&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069213 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069186&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069186 Author: blondy

yup

ETA: often media (especially newspapers in NZ) blow medical research out of proportion to make it sensationalist, so it's always good to read either the press-releases from the research group itself, or to see the researchers interviewed and hear what they have to say for themselves, as you can't trust what you read in the papers as being the full story....

Thank you! I was having this discussion on FB and no one could see that point of view! They are def not saying its acceptable to drink but don't panic if you did before you knew.

Blondy, you come from a research background, if I remember right?]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 19:03:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069183&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069183 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069182&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069182 Author: blondy

Where's their definition of "better behaved"? By "trouble keeping their children under control" do they mean the children of non-drinkers were naturally inquisitive & demonstrated a desire to test the limits of their environment the way a child with a normally functioning brain does? After having first-hand experience of children with both FAS & ARND there is still no way I'd risk any alcohol during pregnancy (or breastfeeding) even if a hundred studies said it's ok!]]> Sat, 19 Jun 2010 17:28:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1069115&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1069115 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1068654&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1068654 Author: kiwi2

My thoughts on this are that people who drink during pregnancy are probably more likely to drink post child. My children are far better behaved once I have had a few drinks so not sure if the perception of milder behaved children is due to the drinking during the pregnancy or the alcohol induced haze of motherhood lol. ]]> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:32:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1068654&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1068654 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1066744&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1066744 Author: Kazper

That's insane, especially when there has been countless studies showing that any alcohol consumption during pregnancy (especially first trimester) can lead to ADD in children - that's not good behavior!

Sorry that's not aimed at you, it's just kind of hilarious. What is really sad is now there will be women who read that and think it will be ok to drink.]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:02:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1066744&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1066744 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1066523&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1066523 Author: GuestGuest

The headline seems a bit crazy to me when the majority of the article disputes it!]]> Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:33:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34112&PID=1066523&title=a-glass-of-wine-breeds-better-babies#1066523
