Fetal Alcohol Syndrome --

Build Better Baby Brains – Avoid Alcohol While Pregnant!

http://www.betterendings.org/ Jodee and Liz Kulp’s website provides much information on FASD, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Their books are very compelling. Did you know:

FASD is the leading cause of mental retardation in our country.

FASD is often misdiagnosed as ADHD, bipolar disorder, autism and RAD.

http://www.fasdcenter.samhsa.gov/documents/WYNK_Physical_Effects.pdf describes FASD, its causes, health affects, and treatment. Best advice, “Stop and think. If you’re pregnant, don’t drink.”
