Information
During pregnancy, it is important to focus on a balanced and healthy diet. Food must be rich in nutrients and essential vitamins for the good development of the baby. Milk cafes and chocolate cappuccino are generally considered food to be avoided during pregnancy, as they can contain relatively high quantities of caffeine and sugar. Caffeine, in particular, can be harmful to the fetus and can cause nausea and headache in the mother. In addition, the milk and chocolate used to prepare these drinks can contain bacteria that can be harmful to the mother and the baby. Therefore, it is best to avoid these drinks during pregnancy. On the other hand, if you always want to have a milk coffee or a chocolate cappuccino, opt for versions without caffeine and added sugar. This will allow you to obtain the same taste as the classic versions without compromising the health of the baby.
