See How Dad Reacted After Mum Gave Baby Formula Mixed With Alcohol

A one-month-old baby has been admitted to hospital in Wisconcin after her mother mistakenly mixed baby formula and vodka and gave her to drink.

According to USA TODAY, a spokesman for the Kenosha Police Department, Lieutenant Brad Hetlet said the baby had a blood alcohol level of 0.29% when she was admitted.

Helet explained that the 20-year-old mother said the father of the child emptied a water bottle meant for the baby’s formula and filled it with vodka to take to a friend’s home. It was later the mother not knowing the water had been replaced with vodka used 2 ounces from the water bottle to mix the formula for her baby.

It was moments later the couple realized the mistake when their baby’s toes were red, her eyes were partially closed, and she was not responding to her name. It was at this point the father became annoyed and strangled the woman before the police came to her rescue.

Helet said: “The argument started, and the focus did not become let’s make sure our baby is ok, it became let’s blame each other for this.”

Helet also gave more information on the baby’s condition, he said: “The baby is going to be fine, this could have been tragic because when you hit .3 [blood alcohol level] normally it will cause you to pass out and at a point .4 you are dead.”
