diet coke
is good for diabetics. and for siblings of diabetics who were only allowed it once a year at christmas, it was pretty special. not that I'm bitter about only being allowed carbonated beverages once a year for most of my childhood. oh no. and it's not like my siblings and I all have an unhealthy attachment to diet coke now. so my parents plan worked brilliantly.

serious question to you as a new mum
does the caffeine affect breast milk?

only if I wipe it on my nipples
serious answer - only if I drink gallons of the stuff - but then my milk being affected would be the least of my worries. 1 can a day makes no difference to sprog (and believe me, I tried cutting out ALL caffiene in the early days and he was still, well, a baby. I still drink the stuff most days and he occasionally sleeps now!

this makes me happy for any future sprogenations I may attempt
I would miss coffee way too much.
