    I stuffed my face full of chocolate in hospital and ended up with a very windy baby. I was rather insulted to find after months of being a NUN in the food department that I still had to abstain from some foods..ggrrrr.
    Its hard to say, go with your choc filled gut!

    I don't think you can say that ALL babies will get nappy rash if their mum's eat chocolate. But some might. Only way you'll know is to try it

    I would also say it could be a coincidence that you noticed it today. Give it a couple of days and try again if you notice a rash then, then maybe you might think about having chocolate only in tiny doses LOL.

    BTW, a couple of spots doesn't constitute nappy rash - well not in my book anyway.

    Thanks for your replies, she's still got spots / rash... buts coming and going...think its probably just normal baby nappy rash.

    You all made me feel a lot less guilty about stuffing my face though!! Thanks ladies!
