Pregnancy guidance
LimitMilk chocolate should be limited during pregnancy due to its high sugar and saturated fat content. It supplies small amounts of calcium and riboflavin from milk solids, but refined sugar makes up the majority of every bar. In addition, milk chocolate contains modest amounts of caffeine that should be tracked alongside daily totals. Savor a small individual square after meals rather than eating entire candy bars.
