A new study found that children of women with low caffeine intake during pregnancy were slightly shorter, on average, compared to kids born to women who completely avoided it altogether.
Pregnancy comes with all sorts of recommendations on what to avoid. It’s known that high caffeine can be harmful to a baby in the womb. And specifically, when it comes to moderate caffeine consumption, the advice seems to be across the board.
They looked for correlations between maternal caffeine consumption and child height, weight, body mass index and obesity risk. They also accounted for several other factors that could affect child growth, such as maternal height, pre-pregnancy weight and smoking. Beginning at age 4, children of women who consumed the highest amounts of caffeine measured shorter than those born to women in the lowest caffeine-consumption group. This gap increased from 0.68 cm at age 4 to 2.2 cm at age 8, the researchers said. In this study, caffeine consumption among pregnant participants averaged around 200 mg per day.
