How much caffeine are you drinking?

weddedwife · October 2009

Now that I'm back to work I'm having a hard time avoiding caffeine. Are you ladies drinking caffeine every day? How much?

1-2 cups of coffee a day is fine.

Personally I avoid artificial sweeteners while pregnant/bfing- I would rather have more caffeine and some real sugar vs. chemicals.

I drink 1 cup of coffee a day. With real sugar. I woudn't make it at work without it!

I'm having about 1 or 2 cups a day. I need it to feel alive.

1 to 2 cups per day.

I do use artificial sweeteners. Maybe I shouldn't be, though.

I have a cup of decaf (which still has a small amt. of caffeine) and some chocolate everyday.

Zilch. Because I found out the hard way that any amount of caffeine for me makes my milk supply go in the toilet. And I have plenty of milk. I pump 12-16 oz each morning, then anywhere from 6 to 10 oz 2x/per day at work. Then I nurse her two more times at night, at least 20 mins total each time.

If I have even a cup of decaf, the next day, I have about half as much milk. Then she gets pissed.

I cut way back on the caffeine about 3 years ago, and now just don't really need it. I do LOVE the taste of coffee though. I drank decaf all through pregnancy.
