Define problem: Newborns have a difficult time with removing caffeine from their body but by a week of age most will readily eliminate it at a reasonable rate. Caffeine in coffee will likely act as a stimulant & could give rise to a few hours of over-activity. However, I wouldn't consider this much of a problem in the average healthy kid at 18 mo.

I'm a 35 yr old female and everytime I start to drink coffee I end up having pain in my chest on the left side. I was told back in 1997 that I had developed pleurisy in my chest from drinking energy drinks but I read that caffeine doesn't cause pleurisy.
