Tonic water and breastfeeding

I just read that tonic water isn’t advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I sometimes drink in mocktails! Had anybody else heard this? Do you avoid?

It’s the quinine in the tonic water that’s transmitted through your milk that’s bad for babies. You can have sparkling water though

It’s ok in moderation or not at all? I had some and my baby will want feeding soon! It was just half a glass mixed with orange juice..

I think you’re fine if in moderation. NHS doesn’t state not to drink it either xx

Thank you ❤️ I’m not even sure why I googled it! I just had the random urge to. I definitely drank it during pregnancy but had no idea!xx
