coffee and breastfeeding

**mummybynature** · 08-06-2011 00:58

I'm not really a coffee or any sort of caffeine drinker but I do crave it at times. Is it ok to drink it when breastfeeding?

I have max three a day saying that I usally only get one Luke warm by the time I get to it.

Occasionally it shouldn't be an issue, just keep an eye on the behavior oh bub in the 24 hours afterwards (to check for sensitivities - unless you've already done that bit!)

Yep

just don't line up 6 expresso shots & I agree watch how they go for the first little while but it *should* be fine

Subscribing
What about diet coke ?

I had an espresso coffee maker and would have a cup a day - normal, not decaf, and baby was perfectly fine.

Same

But if I have more than one bubs isn't impressed. For us it's the extra dairy that affects her not the caffeine.

**** Honestly I can spell. It's my iPhones fault ****

I have maximum two a day. One day I had four (it had been a rough night, lol) and trust me, the next night was even rougher.

Not for me. If I have a cup of tea in the morning bub is up reeeallly late. Like midnight the other night.

I think it's because I avoided all caffeine when pregnant
