For awhile I thought it was making her spit up but it turns out she just spits up a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-570370 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 18:22:31 +0000 oahujeni 570370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I drink a lot of caffeine throughout the day -- 1 -2 cups of coffee in the morning, sometimes a soda for lunch, and 1-2 cups of tea throughout the afternoon. It doesn't seem to affect my LO at all but it sure gives me the energy I desperately need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-570037 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 11:55:42 +0000 pl0508 570037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies ! At most I normally have one cup of coffee in the mornings and from what most of you say it sounds like LO would tolerate it fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-570021 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 11:39:22 +0000 sarac 570021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use caffeine, but if I did, I think I'd avoid it while breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-569962 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 10:44:53 +0000 birdofafeather 569962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also drank coffee while pregnant and drink a cup or two while BFing and haven't noticed any ill effects with DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-569939 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 10:14:16 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 569939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i drank it while pregnant and since he was born and i don't notice anything.

Now I have 1-3 cups of coffee in the morning and an occasional soda... Usually caffeine free.

I didn't give up my morning cup of coffee for this pregnancy, and it'll be even less that she'll get through my milk when she's on the outside, so I won't give it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-569879 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 08:53:56 +0000 SleepyMonkey 569879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did avoid it up until she was 3 months old because i had the same fear you did! but then i gave in and resumed drinking my morning cup of black tea with milk every morning and there were no noticeable effects of LO's sleep/mood. i am not sure about coffee (i don't drink) or soda (i am still avoiding). maybe ease back into it so you can see if she has any ill effects from it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caffeine-while-bf#post-569876 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 08:48:39 +0000 pl0508 569876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dud/do you avoid caffeine while BF? I'm scared it will make my LO wide awake. Is that even possible </p>
