Is green tea and acai berry supplements safe to consume while breastfeeding?

Yes: Green tea has caffeine and can be a stimulant to the breast feeding child. In small amounts they are both safe.

Yes, to a limit.: Both active ingredients are secreted in breast milk. Too much will affect behavior and no long term studies have been published. Both are promoted as weight loss agents. Breast feeding alone is better than these nutritional supplements. Why not wait!
