Alcohol, breast cancer, and metabolism study
This study looks at how drinking alcohol while breastfeeding might affect a mother's body and possibly her risk for breast cancer. If you are nursing and drink alcohol, you may help researchers learn more about this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman who is currently breastfeeding and drinking at least one alcoholic drink while nursing
- Your baby should be between 2 and 5 months old
- You should have experience using a breast pump
