Giving alcohol to a newborn even through a mother’s breastmilk poses a grave danger to the baby. According to health experts, alcohol can be considered as poison to babies.

“alcohol can irritate the baby’s stomach. Breathing and heart rate might slow down to a dangerous level. Blood pressure drops. These children can pass out and even die.”

Sadly it took a fatal turn in this case.
