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?
