Pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake to two cups of coffee a day, a report by the Food Standards Agency will warn this week. The FSA is changing its advice on the recommended daily amount after a new study linked caffeine intake to underweight babies. The recommended daily limit is now 200mg, down from 300mg, and equivalent to two cups of coffee or four cups of tea a day.
