Breastfeeding and Coffee

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

So, previously we’ve talked about caffeine and pregnancy. Now, let’s move on to breastfeeding.

Although there is no evidence that caffeine decreases milk supply, it is better to avoid coffee or other drink or food containing caffeine. Because, some babies, particularly those under 6 months, may be more sensitive to mom’s caffeine intake.

Albeit one or two cups of moderately caffeinated coffee, tea, or soda aren’t likely to affect either of you, more might make one or both of you irritable, jittery, agitated, and sleepless.

So, please, if you love yourself and your baby, why don’t you wait until you don’t breastfeed anymore…

Pregnancy & Coffee: Just a Reminder!

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

I’ve got a friend who has just found out that she’s pregnant. And, she asked me, “Is it ok for me to drink coffee?”

As a frequent reader of this blog, she forgot that we have posted an article on coffee for pregnant women here.

So, that is why, I think it is necessary to remind you all again…that it is better to avoid any type of caffeine…ok?

Have a lovely pregnancy!
