If you BF do you drink caffeine?

It doesn't bother C so I am back to 1-2 cups of coffee or a Coke on most days.

When I drink or eat it (chocolate), it doesn't seem to bother her at all. In fact the diner by the hosp made the best coffee I've ever had and I drank it several time after I gave birth.

I even went back there (1/2 hour away) to get it after we got home.

Me too. I drink at least one cup of coffee a day (these days I'm up to 2) and eat as much chocolate as my heart desires. It hasn't had any affect on Nora. I'm so glad too because when I go back to work I'm really going to need that coffee!!

Yes, and a lot of it these days.

Yes, from what I have read only 0.5 to 1% of the caffeine even makes it to your breastmilk

yes. Not drinking caffeine with a new baby is a cruel joke.

I do. A cup of coffee (OK, two) in the morning to bring me out of my coma and usually a soda at lunch. I don't think it affects DS at all.

Nope! I drink decaf coffee now some mornings. Usually caffeine free teas. But I have had chocolate and coffee ice cream and the caffeine doesn't seem to affect my LO. Just don't see the point of going back to caffeinated beverages since we are hoping for 2 under 2!

I have at least one cup a day, it doesn't seem to bother him at all--I think tomatoes bother him more than anything else.

Sometimes I will have a cup in the morning but notice when I pump, I don't produce as much as I do when I don't drink coffee...so I have cut it out since I'm having supply issues now!

I MISS my coffee!!!!
