That's what I was getting at, 79nic just said it better. Our baby was actually alcohol exposed, and that is where my interest in FAS/E contributing to attachment disorders comes in. That is exactly the researchers dilemma, whether the disorder stems from the alcohol exposure itself, or from the way these children are cared for after birth. If they remain with the family, they are often not given the best care. If they are placed in foster care, they are often bumped from home to home. So the rates of attachment disorders in alcohol exposed children go up, but they're not sure why. Anyway, our dd was alcohol exposed, has shown no signs as of yet, and is very securely attached. Sorry if this is straying from the topic, Bea's baby hopefully will not be alcohol exposed and it's not going to be an issue.
