A four-month-old baby ends up hospitalized for an alcohol coma after his grandmother mistakenly put wine in his bottle.

A baby who is just four months old was admitted to the hospital this Monday in critical condition after falling into an alcohol-induced coma. Reports from La Reppublica suggest that the child’s grandmother mistakenly filled the baby’s bottle with white wine instead of water.

The incident took place in Brindisi, a city in the Apulia region of Italy, where the family resides. Apparently, the grandmother was unaware that she was mixing powdered milk with wine, assuming it was plain water.

The baby consumed the liquid without any suspicion until the mother noticed the symptoms of alcohol ingestion. Concerned, she rushed the infant to Perrino hospital in Brindisi, where doctors diagnosed an alcohol coma and conducted a gastric lavage procedure.

Although the Italian media reports that the baby’s condition is currently stable, the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption at such a young age cannot be ignored.

Local authorities have initiated an investigation into the incident, confirming it as an unfortunate accident. The Brindisi Prosecutor’s Office has been notified of the situation.
