Drinking alcohol during lactation has been shown to decrease breastfeeding duration yet breastfeeding is the optimal method of infant feeding. Alcohol consumption is the cultural norm in Australia but alcohol in breastmilk will disrupt the hormonal control required for successful breastmilk let-down, a factor rarely considered in the early stopping of breastfeeding. This Fellowship will investigate the use of the alcohol guideline for breastfeeding women by health practitioners & mothers.
