EBF and coffee

babym6705

If you EBF, how many cups of regular coffee do you drink daily?

Rrrrrachel

I try not to have any but only because I noticed it makes my kids gassy. I don't think it's verboten in general.

hordol

I have 1-2. Depends on my mood. I haven't noticed an effect on LO so I don't worry about it too much.

I usually have two caffeinated drinks a day - right when I wake up and in the afternoon. Since I EP, I try to plan it so I have coffee right after a pump.

I voted for 2, sometimes I have more, but we also drink half caf which allowed me to drink more coffee during pregnancy and not worry about my caffeine intake.

Average is one but some days require 3

Calla123

1-2 cups usually

RedBird11

1-2

I voted zero but I do have one every couple weeks or so. That's because I'm not a big coffee drinker in general though...if I was I'd have no problem having one a day.

Nice ladies! I normally only have 1 a day, the first feeding when it's light out.

I drink 2. No effect on kiddo. I drank same amount during preg.

I have a big mug in the morning and usually a latte or diet coke in the afternoon
If I had my way I would drink diet coke all afternoon/ evening

I always make a cup in the morning and have iced tea in the afternoon. I need something to get me through the day with 2 kids under 2!

CalinAZ

zero, but I didn't drink any pre-pregnancy either

Since I'm not drinking alcohol, coffee is the only beverage that feels indulgent and makes me happy. Since I'm the boob boss I grant myself two coffees per day, sometimes three if I'm feeling super entitled.

I don't feel bad about drinking 1... I don't notice a difference and even though I'm 8w pp I still need assistance pooping.

I have always have one in the morning and maybe a second in the afternoon if I'm exhausted/close to a Starbucks! My bedtime is usually 8-9pm though, so I try not to have that second cup too late or else I can only blame myself for not taking advantage of my 9pm-2am break to sleep.

I have one every other day or sometimes I go longer without having some....

abbeylanecb

1-2 depends on the day. I cut out pretty much all processed food and coke so it's the only indulgence I allow my self.

I always had one, sometimes two, with my first.  This time around I've discovered how amazing Advocare's Spark is and drink one of those instead.  I may never go back to coffee!

one cup of coffee per day unless I have Caribou then I am sure there is more caffine than one regular cup because I get the specialty drinks.  And then usually one Diet Coke per day.

I drink 1-2 sugar free redbulls and 2-3 iced teas a day and baby still sleeps all day.

maelic

I skipped coffee one day and while it had absolutely no effect on baby girl it certainly turned me into a raging wildebeest. So. 

nicole mackenzie

I put zero but I do have it once or twice a week. I wasn't a big coffee drinker before.

My idea of coffee is a half a cup of coffee mixed with whole milk and some sugar and hot cocoa mix. ( gheradeli sp? Unsweetened mix)

I love mocha lattes and coffee coolattas.

Since I don't drink booze except once in a blue moon and I am trying to cool it on the cake (awful, I know), coffee is like all I have left to look forward to, food/drink wise.  So, usually two.  Sometimes three?  I am kind of a coffee junkie so this is actually pretty moderate for me.
