Pregnancy is the time when mothers are supposed to be very cautious. Food habits during this time can considerably affect the health of the baby. It is good to know that consumption of even one or two cups of coffee per day can enhance the chances of your baby’s weight gain.
Though the link between the increase in weight of the baby with caffeine is still unknown, researchers have come up with a few facts that prove that caffeine content increases the body weight of the baby in the womb. The survey was done with the children of five years and it has proved that the mothers of the obese children had coffee during the gestation period.
Genes also matter to some extent but above all, the food habits of the mother can affect the child directly. Do you know that National Food Agency suggested having three cups of coffee every day but unfortunately mothers following this faced similar problems.
We all are sure of the fact that further studies are of absolute necessity but in order to maintain the good health of the newborns, mothers should be watch their diet.
