Attention coffee addicts

AllysonKG · May 2011

If you're bf'ing and also drinking coffee these days, how much coffee are you typically drinking a day and do you feel like it has ever affected your LO?

I've been drinking two cups of pretty weak coffee spread out over the entire day. I just like to have it around to sip on all day, so I make a pot at around 8 am usually and then finish the second cup around 3ish. I didn't feel like it affected LO until two days ago. He's been awake the ENTIRE day for the last two days and I'm wondering if the coffee has something to do with it. Maybe I accidentally made it stronger than I usually do...

I was drinking one cup every morning, but I was starting to wonder if it was affecting him. I noticed he would be really agitated while eating. I haven't had any the past two days, but he's still being an angry nurser sometimes. Not sure what that's about.

I have one cup every morning, I make it into a latte with milk and hot chocolate and usually that's my breakfast. I didn't have one yesterday and I didn't notice any difference with Owen, so I think we're okay.

i usually have only 1 or 2 cups throughout the day. i always have one right after she nurses during one of her longer stretches. i haven't noticed a difference in her.
