Drink coffee: You may drink coffee anytime you wish as long as you drink in moderation. Limit your intake to two cups a day.

Now: The caffeine in coffee is considered safe during lactation after the newborn period.Consumption around the time of delivery has problems because baby has not developed a way of getting rid of it easily and it can linger in the system for days, producing irritability and poor feeding.After the first week it is broken down more like adults and is seldom a cause of baby symptoms.
