Woman should not drink any alcohol during pregnancy, NHS adviser to the National Institute for Health anti Clinical Excellence (NICE) has said. It says if they must drink, they should not do So in the first three months and should limit consumption to one or two units once or twice a week afterwards. It brings NICE in line with government advice and replaces previous guidance saying small daily amounts were fine. However, NICE concedes there is no evidence to support the change. Not everyone agrees with such a tough approach, but more systematic research into the impact of alcohol is expected. Officials also called for local health bosses to ensure peer support schemes where mothers encourage new parents to breastfeed are set up.
