Drug, Caffein, Chocolate, Breast Milk-If the kid's not sleeping, get off the caffein-soft drinks, tea, coffee, chocolate

December 8, 2004

Dear All,

The person who wrote this e-mail makes some excellent points but doesn't sign their name to know if the author is a she or a he.

As a Mother who gave birth to my daughter at home and breast fed her for 3 years, if you are a breastfeeding Mother and yourbaby is keeping you up all night, I suggest you cut out the caffien to see if you can get a good night's sleep regardless of what country you live in, what language you speak or what your cultural norms may be. Before you create a hyper-child that might be more likely to be prescribed psychiatric medications for being hyper, why not remove a possible cause?

Thanks,

Sandra Lance, D.C.

Sandra, I'm not dogging you or anything, but your post sounds detrimental making the persons reading have a negative view about chocolate and the way it will affect an individual.

Have we asked ourselves why she is eating chocolate? I'm sure she knows what she is doing. Is it only here in the US that we think eating chocolate while pregnant is not a good thing? There are many countries that do things quite differently than ours while being pregnant (and we should learn from them), who are we to say they don't know what they're doing. We need to remember what we should and shouldn't say, the US is NOT the healthiest culture around. We tend to take synthetic drugs that have adverse side effects and then take another drug to offset those effects and before we know it our body is all messed up. Not just drugs either, processed foods, and tons of it. What is better for your body? A food that's been bleached of all it's nutrients that does who knows what to your system or one that's fresh and retains all the natural properties of the vitamins and such we need? Let's not question how another country eats. Her body may be lacking a much needed nutrient during pregnancy. Maybe she doesn't even like chocolate, who doesn't, but when your body is asking for something, don't bereave it. I've seen women crave grapefruit during pregnancy who absolutely abhor the fruit but ate it anyway. Why? Over in Indonesia, you can ground papaya seeds to combat intestinal worms. Brilliant idea!! Better than taking a chemical drug that will ruin the body. Now I'm sure if a study was to be conducted about eating papaya seeds the outcome would say that wouldn't be healthy. But I'm not cognizant of people dropping over dead there. How about when we first heard years ago that avocados and eggs were bad for our health. How are they doing now? I can go on and on but who really wants take the time and read all the causerie I've posted. One thing I do keep asking myself is has scientific study replaced logic? Who was is that said "logic is pure genius"? If you REALLY want to know if chocolate is a bad thing for her, ask the South Americans. Different land, different culture, different way of life.

Drug, Caffein, Chocolate for Breast Milk-Many Sleepless Nights Re: chocolate for nursing moms

December 8, 2004

Sandra, I would like to say that I'm relieved you didn't take my email the wrong way, alot would have if replied to them. I should've replied to Judy, I just picked the last message. It's not that I didn't agree with your post, I was just trying to make clear another point of view. Many times have I seen negative posting without seeing the positive side. People tend to gravitate toward deleterious comments and then that of course spreads not so good information without understanding the whole picture. Anywhoooo...

I support the constitutional right to free speech even if it is

exercised in complete disagreement with my point of view.

We cannot have a free country if we do not have free speech.
