Even small amount of alcohol damages fetus

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

In your most recent paper, you write “babies born to women who drink excessively while pregnant…” suffer from FASD.

I would like to see that you make a correction on that and delete “excessively.”

The message that we need our child-bearing mothers to hear is that any amount of drinking while pregnant is not safe. Even a small amount can hurt an unborn developing child.
