maybe it is the deep brown richness of it<br>
or the bitter sweetness<br>
the smooth melting<br>
warmth in a cup on a sleepless morn<br><br>
whatever the reason...i crave cocoa (in a mug, in chocolate bar, in soy dream, you get the idea)...<br><br>
but i have heard rumors that this is a no no while nursing.<br><br>
is this true? why? thoughts? rants? withdrawal coping methods?<br><br>
Thanks mamas!<br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngtongue.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Stick Out Tongue">

well, if it's forbidden while nursing i guess i will be going to jail. i eat chocolate in some form every day. every day. i drink chocolate soy milk for breakfast, and sometimes have a brownie or piece of candy. sometimes several!<br>
drink the cocoa. live a little. nursing isn't supposed to mean a life of ascetism for the mother.

Only if your baby is allergic to chocolate or extremely sensitive to caffeine!!!<br><br><a href="http://www.kellymom.com/meds/caffeine.html" target="_blank">http://www.kellymom.com/meds/caffeine.html</a>

I have chocolate everyday just about. I have since my son was born and now he's 11 mos and so far it hasn't seemed to bother him.

I have had Chocalote while BF. Although I don't really like chocolate. I couldn't tell that it bothered DS at all.
