Happy babies
According to several studies, mothers who regularly eat chocolate during pregnancy have happier, more alert newborns. One study that observed 300 pregnant women found that women who used chocolate to relieve stress had happier babies. Other smaller studies reported that babies had faster reactions to the stimuli of their environment. This is due to a substance present in chocolate, known as phenylethylamine, which is passed from mother to baby.
