IS IT SAFE TO CONSUME CAFFEINE WHILE BREASTFEEDING

January 30, 2009 · Filed Under Breastfeeding 

Any food or drinks containing caffeine should be limited, as caffeine does pass through the milk.

These include coffee, hot or cold teas and soft drinks.  Pay careful attention to the caffeine content.

Soda companies are putting caffeine content in mg(milligrams) instead of mcg(micromilligrams) which is the smaller amount.

The amount of caffeine referred is equal to what is contained in five or fewer 5oz. cups of coffee per day.

Or one can of soda per day.

Keep in mind even with the referred, watch for signs from your baby if that amount is ok.  Every BODY  is  different.
