A baby was raced to hospital after her mother accidentally mixed her formula with vodka instead of water.

The one-month-old girl had a blood alcohol level of almost 0.294 - almost four times the 0.08 driving limit - when she was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

Her mom, from Kenosha, Wisconsin, said after she gave the girl her bottle on Monday night, her hands and toes became red and her legs started shaking.

The 20-year-old mother, who has not been identified, told police that a man staying with her had emptied out a bottle of water on the kitchen counter and replaced it with the strong liquor without telling her.

After she realized what had happened, the man is alleged to have pushed, choked and hit her with the bottle, WISN reported.

Police were called and man - later identified as Brian Jones, 22 - was arrested.

He was charged with strangulation and battery, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer and could face ten years in jail if convicted.

The baby was placed in intensive care but is expected to be released from hospital this week. According to the police report, she drank around two ounces of vodka mixed with baby formula.

Her mom told officers she and Jones were at home when he asked if the child had been fed. He then became furious when the mom told him she had used the bottle that unbeknownst to her was filled with vodka.

Jones is said to have yelled at the woman, telling her he had planned to take the alcohol out with him, before throwing the bottle at her and grabbing her by the neck.

When officers arrived, Jones swore at them and came towards them with clenched fists, the police report said.

After he was handcuffed, police found the woman in the car, who told them what had happened.

She is unlikely to face charges as Kenosha Police believe she did not mean to give her baby, who could be released from hospital later this evening, the alcohol.
