Woman Goes to Jail for Poisoning Baby With Alcohol While Breastfeeding

breastfeeding alcohol poisoning

Alcohol poisoning is something that can result in brain damage and/or death. It also affects the people around you because they are the ones who are left trying to pick up the pieces. However, a story coming out of Russia shows another devastating way that binge drinking and alcohol poisoning doesn’t affect just you.  Thanks to one of our readers who forwarded us this story.

A mother has been sentenced to three and a half year in jail for killing her baby. How did she do this? By breastfeeding him. According to RiaNovosti, Maria Shnip was binge drinking on a liter of port, and that her blood alcohol content (BAC) level was between 2-2.5 percent. The baby’s level was .4. To understand how much this woman had drank, eight Gin and Tonics for a 140-pound person is equivalent to .26 BAC.

Think of the consequences of your actions. You don’t want this to ever be you.

    Thank you for your comment. It isn’t just one country’s problem; it’s a global one.  All of us have to work together to educate our children so that they can learn that drinking doesn’t involve binge drinking.
