Pregnant women who drink as little as a glass of wine a week could be putting their babies at risk, according to new research which contracts recent studies indicating that an occasional tipple is harmless.
Researchers say there might be no safe limit for the amount of alcohol a pregnant woman can drink without endangering her unborn child, contradicting a study published last October.
In the autumn academics at University College London concluded there was "no increase in developmental difficulties associated with light drinking during pregnancy", after looking at 11,000 five-year-olds.
