I was so sick of eating right at the end of my pregnancy I sat down with a Coke and a big bag of M & M’s. The baby was born very early the next morning and had a caffeine buzz! He was up most of the first day (my other two slept almost solid the first day). Not only does caffeine get past placenta filters, it will interfere with calcium absorption. If mom is deficient in calcium, it will be pulled from her body (bones and teeth), so the baby will not do without (yes, it is that essential). So if mom isn’t absorbing enough calcium she will pay the price first.
