Can You Drink Coffee When Breastfeeding?
Yes, limited amounts of coffee while breastfeeding is fine. Around 200mg per day, which is either 1 espresso, 2 instant coffees or 4 cups of tea should be fine. Caffeine is a stimulant which can pass through the blood stream and into breastmilk so too much may affect your baby. If you’re re-introducing coffee after your pregnancy you may want to start back slowly and monitor for any signs of unsettledness in your baby.
