Is It Safe To Eat Chocolate While Breast Feeding?
Question: I am a nursing mother of a one month old baby. I want to know if I eat chocolate will that harm my baby?
Brief Answer:
No worries as long as moderation is practiced
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
It will not harm your baby. I would recommend that you take chocolate in moderation and to avoid any caffeinated drinks, tea , coffee in addition to chocolate as that would cause an excess caffeine to be secreted in breast milk. But you can eat one chocolate every other day without any worries.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
