I doubt she was nursing Lisa. MOST breast feeding moms are very conscious of how their intake impacts baby. Also, IF she was a regular drinker, the consumption would adversely affect her oxytocin levels; lowering her ability to release milk. A mother who cares enough to nurse @ Lisa's age, would not even think of getting drunk while the sole caretaker of three children, imo.
My theory:
1. She put the baby down early evening and then got sloshed. Went in at 2:30, just prior to passing out, and found baby Lisa not breathing/blue. As doc stated earlier, it happens with a baby with a cold. She panicked, called JI (the one call) who came home to help her get rid of the baby.
2. What electrician works night shift and if so, why off work at such an odd time? Perhaps he came home, found her drunk..maybe in bed with another. A fight ensued, baby awakened and in a fit of rage, one of them harmed her?
It's unlikely that IF one of the siblings dropping her, as stated earlier, would cause a fatal injury. Possible, yes..but unlikely.
I can honestly say I've not been drunk in over 12 years (my oldest is 12). I have always had a great fear of something happening to one of them and finding myself incapable of being there for them. However, as a pediatric nurse, I must say that it's not uncommon to have a child admitted and one or both parents be intoxicated or smell of alcohol. I'm not sure it makes you a *bad* parent as these parents are usually wonderful and attentive the next morning, but I do personally feel it eliminates you from the *good* parent category.
