Nugent, J. Kevin; And Others
Child Development, v67 n4 p1806-15 Aug 1996
Measured the neurobehavioral integrity of Irish infants and maternal alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. Subjects were 127 primiparous mothers. Results demonstrated significant cry effects on infants of heavily drinking mothers, supporting the conclusion that newborn infants show functional disturbances in the nervous system resulting from maternal consumption of alcohol and cigarette use.
