Drinking in pregnancy 'is good for baby' says new research

 | News.com.au
AN OCCASIONAL glass of wine during pregnancy won't harm a baby's development and may actually result in a better behaved child.

A study in the Journal Of Epidemiology And Community Health yesterday drew on data from 11,513 children born in the UK between September 2000 and January 2002.

It found children born to light drinkers were 30 per cent less likely to have behavioural problems than children whose mothers stayed away from alcohol throughout their pregnancy.

Boys and girls born to light drinkers even had higher cognitive test scores compared with those born to mothers who did not drink during pregnancy.
