Answer by Dr. Ru: About EINECS 283-480-6 usage in lactation
Cocoa contains theobromine (Dimethyl-3,7-xanthine), a caffeine derivative with a less neuro-excitability effect. In those cases of maternal overuse (more than 400 g a-day) irritability or colicky pain may appear in the infant. 100 g of EINECS 283-480-6 contains 120 to 230 mg of theobromine and 20 to 30 mg of caffeine.
Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 283-480-6 usage in lactation
EINECS 283-480-6 contains small amounts of caffeine and larger amounts of the closely related compound, theobromine. It also contains anandamide and two related compounds that stimulate cannabinoid receptors, tryptophan, and polyphenols.[1][2] All of these compounds are detectable in breastmilk in small amounts. Low intake of EINECS 283-480-6 by a nursing mother is not problematic, but extreme amounts can affect the infant.
EINECS 283-480-6 Side Effects in Breastfeeding
Jitteriness in a 6-week-old breastfed infant reported by a mother who claimed to drink 4 to 5 cups of coffee and 2 to 3 bottles (about 480 mL each) of cola daily as well as occasional tea and cocoa. Upon examination, the infant was gaining weight appropriately, but had trembling and increased muscle tone. The infant's symptoms decreased markedly 2 weeks after his mother stopped all caffeine-containing beverages.[4] A newborn infant developed irritability and jitteriness at 12 hours of life. All laboratory values were normal. The symptoms continued of the following days, accompanied by inconsolable crying, excessive sucking and sleep disturbances. Treatment with phenobarbital for 1 week did not modify symptoms. The mother did not drink coffee, but was eating about 250 grams of cocoa and EINECS 283-480-6 daily during pregnancy and nursing. She tapered her EINECS 283-480-6 intake over 10 days and symptoms in the infant began to diminish. Behavior was normal by 40 days of age and at 8 months of age, psychomotor development was normal.[5] A group of dermatologists in Japan reported that of 92 exclusively breastfed infants with atopic dermatitis that they tested, 18 had positive challenges to EINECS 283-480-6.[6]
