| How much soda? How much soda do you all drink on average?
I've swapped my diet coke with regular sprite b/c I hear the aspartme and caffeine isn't good for baby but I still drink like a litre or more daily. | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | I don't drink much at all, but i did have some last night for the first time in a week or two, it really soothed my stomach.
they recommend not to have *too* much caffeine. i am a bit guilty sometimes though, i am having a coffee right now *yikes* just could not resist a french vanilla cappucino this morning...
oh ya, a friend of mine who has a healthy bouncing 11 month old, LIVED by coca cola during her pregnancy, she drank it like water!!!! | | | | Status: Offline

I do understand how hard it is to give it up though  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I only drink like, half a glass of pepsi or pop a week, if that. Thanks to the stomach I've developed, I can't drink anything with caffeine in it without getting sick! I still have the occasional hot chocolate though, it's just so good! I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that drinking alot of pop increases hyperactivity and anxiousness in children/babies. | | | | Status: Offline
