Does this hurt my baby?

Ladies. DH drank a lot and came back home at midnight last night. He slep next to me and I had strong alcohol smell with me all night long. I know alcohol will be harmful to my baby. But only the the smell will hurt my baby or not?

It's not the smell of the alcohol, it's the effects of the alcohol in your system.  As Joy said YOU would have to drink in order to pass the effects.

You would need to drink it yourself to pass along alcohol to your baby.

No it won't hurt baby from you smelling it. It actually has to be ingested to do harm to anyone.
