Prenatal alcohol use can have significant impacts on child development, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH) [2] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [3].

The CDC states that prenatal alcohol exposure is a leading preventable cause of birth defects and neurodevelopmental disabilities [3]. Alcohol use during pregnancy can cause a range of disorders known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) [3]. FASDs are conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy [3]. These disorders can include physical, behavioral, and learning problems with possible lifelong implications [3].

The NIH further explains that alcohol use during pregnancy can cause brain damage and growth problems in the baby [2]. The severity of the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the baby can depend on the amount and timing of alcohol consumption [2]. The NIH also states that there is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant [2].

In summary, prenatal alcohol use can lead to a range of disorders known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) [3]. These disorders can cause physical, behavioral, and learning problems with possible lifelong implications [3]. The NIH states that alcohol use during pregnancy can cause brain damage and growth problems in the baby [2].
