Malnutrition. Carbonated beverages contain phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, caffeine and other ingredients, breastfeeding mothers drink too much carbonated beverages, these ingredients will be absorbed into the body through the breast milk so that the baby, affecting the child’s gastrointestinal function, will cause the child to bloat, resulting in the child’s loss of appetite, anorexia and so on, which can lead to impact on the nutrient intake and absorption. 2. Calcium deficiency. Carbonated beverages contain phosphoric acid, into the body will affect the absorption of calcium, breastfeeding mothers often drink carbonated beverages will lead to their own calcium and phosphorus ratio imbalance, will also affect the calcium content of breast milk.
