Coffee ; breastfeed: Best if you could settle for decaf, but one cup a day will have no adverse effects on the baby. Caffeine does cross into breast milk. Should try and keep intake.

Coffee/breastfeeding: It is fine to drink a small amount of coffee while breastfeeding but the caffeine will enter the breastmilk so drink in moderation of baby will be irritable.
