Would if be okay to have green tea to loose weight while breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be careful: Green tea itself may be safe in small amounts but pill formulations contain combinations of substances; you would have to study each formulation to determine what the ingredients may do. Green tea (camellia sinensis) contains caffeine, polyphenols, & tannins. Fussiness, jitteriness & poor sleep patterns have been reported in the infants of mothers with very high caffeine intakes.
