Coffee
Avoid during pregnancy as this may lead to iron deficiency of both mother and baby, and cardiac stimulation of the foetus. High doses of 600mg are thought to have abortive effects. Avoid with nursing mothers as the caffeine excreted via the mother's milk reduces the level of iron within the milk, increase the risk of mastitis and acts as a nerve stimulant on the infant. |
