Maybe get another doctor. The top of my dr.s' "Things to Avoid When Pregnant" list....1. alcohol, 2. smoking, 3. caffeine. Caffeine is a DRUG, a psychoactive central nervous system (CNS) stimulant and diuretic. And everything a mother consumes goes to the baby. So why would any loving mother want to risk damage to her baby's central nervous system (a.k.a. brain) for 30 seconds of pleasure on her tongue?
Caffeine can be found in coffee, most sodas (read labels), most teas (read labels), and chocolate.
Yes, I avoided all forms of caffeine both during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Best wishes.
