A cup of coffee contains an average of 80 to 100mg caffeine, many pregnant women are worried about affecting their baby's health, but can only avoid certain foods. But Su Yining, a famous obstetrician and gynecologist, said that "if you have a cup or two in a good mood once in a while," you don't have to worry about too much caffeine. But if someone wants to ask, "but drinking coffee will make my child's skin black and discouraged," he can only reply, "I'm sorry. I can't talk about this anymore, thank you.

Su Yining pointed out in the Facebook fan group Dr. Su Yining that in 2000 New England magazine analyzed more than 500 pregnant women who had spontaneous abortions and 1000 pregnant women who did not have spontaneous abortions, and found that the higher the dose of coffee, the higher the risk of miscarriage. It rose from an average of 20% to 26%, but the intake was too high and the increase was small.

As for some pregnant mothers' concern, caffeine will cause "low weight" of the fetus, but the data show that the average intake of 100mg caffeine increases the risk of low weight by 13%. "about a hundred coffee drinkers will become underweight," but the difference will be greater if you drink more.

Regarding the fact that drinking coffee will lead to the blackening of the skin of my fetus, Yang Zhixiong, a dermatologist at Gengxin Hospital, said in an article in 2012 that the skin of ordinary people is white or black, depending on congenital genes, and parents' genes are matched. The amount of melanin in the fetal skin has been determined. When there are more melanocytes in the skin, the skin will be darker; on the contrary, the skin will be white.

Generally speaking, the skin color of newborns is mostly white, and it is difficult to see the real skin color. In dermatology, skin color can be divided into six types according to the number of melanocytes in the skin. Yellow people mostly belong to type 3-4, while those with darker skin tone tend to type 4; while the skin color of Oriental newborns mostly belongs to type 2-3, mostly type 2.

Yang Zhixiong also called for good sunscreen for the baby at any time, so that there is no need to worry about the problem of blackening the skin. As the skin of newborns before 6 months old is not well-developed and delicate, it is not recommended to wear sunscreen; after 6 months, the cutin of the skin is more sound, you can start to rub sunscreen for your baby.
