It can cause the baby too poop, not only the mother. The baby will then swallow it's own poop and possibly develop lung issues and cause distress or infections.

Again, it COULD happen. But it might not. I personally wouldn't take it.

Cons are that it's potentially fatal to the baby. All it is is a laxative
