A member asked:
Can i drink a cup of coffee and one cup of tea a day during breastfeeding? my son is 6m old !?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely OK: Newborns can have some trouble metabolizing caffeine but at 6m the exposure proposed is considered relatively safe during breast feeding. There is evidence that chronic caffeine use can lower the iron content of breast milk but in low to moderate amounts tis is less a issue.Rarely irritability & insomnia can arise in sensitive infants.
