Guise... I need caffeine

mrsdahamm · May 2014

Bf moms... How long do you count your pumped milk as caffeinated after you've had caffeine?

*also asked on the bf board

I don't as it doesn't seem to affect my LO at all. I have one latte pretty much every morning. It has about 2.5 oz espresso and lots of sugary flavored syrup and milk - its delicious! I drink it over the course of about 45 min or so, sometimes while bfing. He seems completely unaffected by it - actually he usually takes his longest nap of the day after the nursing session that follows my latte.

It takes quite a bit of caffeine to affect your milk... This article on kellymom explains a lot.

I didn't even know this was a thing. I literally would not survive without at least one caffeinated beverage a day.

LO still enjoys his morning coffee through my milk just like he did in the womb. I don't consume enough to over do it. I did just go from one coffee to 2 in the morning because of less sleep and having to work. Enjoy!!

My caffeine intake hasn't impacted my babies at all though.

I agree. I drink a cup of coffee and a large dr pepper everyday...

I had 3 cups of coffee this morning and DS is on his second one hr+ nap today.

What PP said. It has no apparent impact on A whatsoever.

I haven't notice any difference in Colton but I drank the same amount at the same time every day of pregnancy too.

I don't keep track as it doesn't seem to affect the twins. I have a coffee and or soda everyday!

I started out with one cup of regular (strong) coffee each day. After I read about it on Kellymom, I upped it to a second cup, because I love coffee and I'm tired! And it doesn't affect LO... she is usually good with naps!

I need caffeine badly but I'm too paranoid about it disturbing LO's sleep. That's the last thing I need

This thread inspired me to go to Starbucks for a 1/2 price Frappuccino. Delish
