A member asked:

Can i drink decaf coffee when breastfeeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: If you enjoy this as a beverage and you are doing decaf, there is no reason not to enjoy your coffee while breastfeeding. Make sure to get some dairy, however, as you need that extra calcium while breast feeding.
