  A small cup of coffee (up to 200mg caffeine a day) is fine even throughout pregnancy. Go for it.

  While I applaud your efforts I would have died months ago without caffeine. Drink the coffee...it will all be ok.

  I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that you suffered for nothing, but a reasonable amount of caffeine is perfectly fine during pregnancy. It is also perfectly fine while breastfeeding.
  
  Wine too, by the way, 3-4 drinks a week are a-ok while baby is breastfed. Just don't get drunk.

  I cut out caffiene while pregnant because I had gestational hypertension but I've totally brought it back. I had an iced coffee yesterday and my LO had a 4.5 stretch of sleep after so she's definitely not affected. Drink up!

  Studies are showing that caffeine does not (or just baaaaaaarely) passes across to breast milk. So drink all the coffee you want/need.

  The hospital (women & children's) I delivered at served me coffee the morning after. They specialize in this area so if they are serving it, you know it's safe!!!

  I really would not be alive without it. As soon as DD finishes eating I'm going downstairs to make a cup!

  DH just called after dropping kids off at school and asked if i wanted anything while he was out. I said swing by Starbucks and bring home something delicious!!!

  Never gave it up and my kids have never reacted to caffeine. 

  
  

  Drink up!

  I gave up coffee in the first trimester but had major headaches. Told my doctor and he told me I was crazy and to go ahead and drink my coffee. Turns out that regular coffee triggered my heartburn but I was able to have a Starbucks latte every once in awhile.
  I've had a few iced coffees since Penny was born and I haven't noticed anything different in her feeding or sleep. She still eats a crap ton and only sleeps when she wants!
