My name is Sandy Hankin and I'm new to Lactnet. I've been a LLLL for
around 7 years and have 3 children. I have a question about a study I
heard about linking caffeine consumption in lactating mothers to tooth
enamel defects. I know that the study was done on rats and looked at the
molars, specifically. From what I have heard about the study, it
hypothesized that the inadequate enamel development was related to poor
calcium absorption in the infant  due to maternal caffeine consumption.
Has anyone heard of this study?  Does anyone know whether a link was
found? TIA
