Crullers should be avoided when you're pregnant. Crullers made from commercial baking powders contain a chemical substance known as alum. Eating two crullers per day is equivalent to consuming 3 grams of alum. You may be unknowingly ingesting aluminum, which can pass through the placenta to the foetus, and hinder brain development.

It is safe to consume crullers for new mothers but only in moderation.

It is safe to consume sugar and artificial sweeteners, but in moderation. You can use it occasionally in your food. There are several internal barriers that prevents the baby from consuming excess sugar.

Crullers are low in nutrients and high in sugar and saturated fat, which may make your baby overweight if he eats them regularly, as well as damage his developing teeth. Try to keep these treats for special occasions only.
