A member asked:
If i drink a lot of coke and i'm breastfeeding my 11 month old baby will that give him diabetes?

Nope: Soda has not been linked to transmission of developing diabetes in a new born. It may make your milk taste differently and thus poor feeding....

No, BUT: If you're drinking a lot of caffeinated soda, that caffeine goes into the baby too and can cause problems like irritability, rapid heart rate, difficulty sleeping. Additionally, substituting coke for milk, will decrease your baby's calcium intake. Continuing prenatal vitamins while breast feeding is often recommended.
