I'm a breasfeeding mom and i love eating dark chocolate. could this negatively effect my 3 month old baby?

Yes and no: Dark chocolote as a product would seem a safe indulgence, yet it has natural caffine which can cross into baby & cause irritability, sleep distrubance or worse etc.Babies can take 4x as long as mom to get rid of caffine.Its harder on newborns than 3m.Some might suggest a risk of sensitizing baby, triggering a chocolote allergy later ? I can't say its without issues.
