Drinking any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can harm the unborn baby and cause fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS is caused when a mother consumes alcohol while pregnant, as the alcohol passes through the placenta to the baby, who processes alcohol at a higher level than the mother due to smaller size. Babies with FAS can have characteristics like abnormal small size at birth, small head circumference, facial abnormalities, and mental disabilities or retardation. Fetal alcohol effect (FAE) describes less severe symptoms in babies of mothers who drink moderately while pregnant. The only way to prevent FAS and FAE is for mothers to abstain from alcohol before and during pregnancy.
