Hopefully it's right around the corner for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-902953 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 08:39:04 +0000 Smurfette 902953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: So the regression lasted a month for you? We are about 3 weeks in, hoping it goes away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-902285 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 19:36:42 +0000 JerricaBenton 902285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 4.5 months. She matured so much over the last month so I definitely think the sleep disturbance had to do with all that. It was like having a newborn again for a few weeks! Hopefully that's all it is for you and she'll be sleeping better soon! She's probably gonna be rolling over and grabbing feet any minute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901667 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:44:23 +0000 Smurfette 901667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Yes, she rolls to her side but that is as far as she has gotten. She puts her hands in her mouth constantly. She kicks her legs up but isn't grabbing them....yet. How old is your LO again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901650 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 14:37:28 +0000 JerricaBenton 901650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: LO started her sleep regression at 3.5 months and it's gotten better over the past few weeks and has slept 7 - 8 hrs ths last 3 nights. I definitely think the 4 month sleep regression can come early. Has she started rolling/putting feet in mouth or anything during this time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901439 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 13:20:14 +0000 cmomma17 901439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have recently upped my coffee intake too (just trying to survive here ....) and I haven't noticed a difference.<br /> Hope R's sleep improves soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901295 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:35:25 +0000 Smurfette 901295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: Yeah she turns 4 month next week. I am just trying to think of anyting else it could be since it started closer to 3 months. I am afraid we haven't hit the regression yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901267 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:22:01 +0000 NovBaby1112 901267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i havent noticed any difference- i drink 2 cups of coffee a day. isnt she right around the age for the 4 month regression or no? that could be why she is waking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901241 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:12:39 +0000 swurlygurl 901241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started drinking quite a bit of coffee while breastfeeding and never noticed a difference :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901233 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:08:14 +0000 Smurfette 901233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Yeah I am pretty much grasping at straws here. I figure I will start cutting it tomorrow and see if it helps. I haven't noticed it affecting her in the past. but at this point I am so desperate, I will try anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901224 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:05:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 901224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't noticed a difference in my LO either (and I cut it out for a while along with dairy . . . this was before LO was diagnosed with reflux). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901221 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:03:37 +0000 hilsy85 901221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't affect my LO as far as I can tell...can you cut it out for a week or so and see if there's any improvement? Maybe do caffeine free to get the same taste at least? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-caffeine-affect-your-lo#post-901215 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:00:30 +0000 Smurfette 901215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since R got a cold three weeks ago, her sleep has gotten worse every night. I think she is on the mend now, but she after a 3 or 4 hour stretch at the beginning of the night, she is waking up every hour and half.</p> <p>I started thinking I am drinking more Diet Coke during the day to get me through the work day. Could this be effecting her? I have 2 or 3 cans a day. I also drink plenty of water. </p> <p>How do you know caffeine affects your LO? </p>
