    The question of whether you can eat chocolate during lactation can be said to be edible, but it must be in an appropriate amount, because the theobromine contained in the chocolate will penetrate into breast milk and accumulate in the baby. Theobromine can damage the nervous system and heart, relax muscles, increase urination, and make the baby indigestion, unstable sleep, and crying. Maternal eating more chocolate will affect appetite and gain weight.
