My wife put to bed just a week ago. Although, she is not an alcohol freak, but she is asking me to get her alcoholic gin, particularly 'seaman aromatic' or any related hot gin. Her argument is that it was recommended or advised by a nurse that it is really not harmful if she takes it and that it is good for her tummy, i.e reducing the fats in the tummy. I have advised her that, it is not good for a nursing and breast feeding mother to take certain foods, including alcohol as that may be passed out to the baby via breastfeeding. Experience mothers, Doctors and Nurses, your advice and views are kindly required, to enable me place a superior argument before her.

Unless you want to get your baby drunk when you breastfeed, and your baby could get alcohol poisoning from mother's milk if you take alcohol. Avoid alcohol and other forms of drunks until you stop breastfeeding, so that it doesn't affect your babies growth and development.

@op u better do every tin possible to stop her nd go nd see a doctor for better advice.
I no say na does yoruba nurse go give dat advice.

If her child grows up to be a chronic drunkard now, she would begin to blame the witches in her village.

Is that the only comment you have to give?

Whoever came up with this idea of taking spirits to 'burn fat in the tummy'?How does alcohol burn fat?
Tell your wife she doesn't need that alcohol.She should breastfeed and the tummy will reduce a bit.
When she's healed in a few months,she should start tummy trimming exercises.

About alcohol - It's better to be attentive while breastfeeding after alcohol drinks. Read more here: http://motherhow.com/alcohol-and-breastfeeding-how-much-can-you-drink/

These are the quacks that are spoiling the image of nurses in Nigeria.

It's not good.
In fact it can harm the baby as alcohol interferes with neuron formation in the brain.
Very unsafe for the rapidly growing brain of an infant. You don't want to deny that baby the chance of being as mentally active as s/he should be.
Avoid. Avoid.

You can pull up scholarly articles about this online to show her if she insists on listening to the 'nurse'.
