Do you think it would be ok to have a decaf caramella? Wouldn't want my baby to resist his naps!!!
-
I have 1 cup regular coffee/day in the morning and it has had 0 effect on my baby.
-
Try it and see - I have heard both sides of the story - that it DOES and that it DOESNT effect the baby!
-
I had an occasional frappuccino while breastfeeding. I don't think it affected my LO.
-
I found caffeine had zero affect on Xander (unless maybe that's why he was so wakeful as a baby... but he wasn't fussy, so I didn't stop drinking coffee).
-
I had coffee while nursing (usually one cup decaf/one cup half-caff) and never had any issues that I could tell.
-
@Leah: I feel your pain! ! My LO was absolutely sensitive to coffee. It made her gassy and kept her up. During her 4 month regression it got so bad I slowly brought decaf back into my system.
It seems though that for the vast majority caffeine doesn't affect their LO's.
-
@Mae: just the encouragement I needed! Thanks!
-
@locavore_mama: I am pretty sensitive to caffeine myself and usually stick to decaf.
-
Never affected my LO. I feel your pain though - I'm cutting caffeine out of my diet because of some medical issues and it is freaking killing me, I'm such a zombie!
-
@Adira: as much as I want a coffee treat, naps are already too hard! I'm hoping he won't be affected!
-
@Mamaof2: at the coffee shop right now!
-
@Leah: LOL! Good luck!
-
@wonderstruck: have you ever tried Roma?? It's no caffeine but tastes just like coffee. Even my coffee addict mom has it when she's at my house.
-
@Leah: enjoy your coffee! Hope it has zero effect on baby for you!
-
@Leah: I don't actually drink coffee, the caffeine I'm trying to kick is Mountain Dew! I've been hooked since high school and never evolved to more adult beverages like coffee, haha. And unfortunately I have to stay away from anything sugary in general, was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes
But good luck and enjoy your coffee!
-
Depending on the caffeine concentration/amount, I think you could be okay! DS wasn't affected by it unless I accidentally had waaaay too much.
-
I was able to drink my 2 cups of coffee and didn't cause an issue with either LO.
-
I'd say if you really feel like you need it, have it. See if it affects the baby. In my case, it didn't. I became a coffee-a-holic after she was born.
-
My LOs spit up like waterfalls when I drink caffeine (especially diet coke?!!?) but I drink decaf with no problems. Hope you're enjoying that coffee right now!
-
@twodoghouse: it was awesome!
-
L never had any problems with me drinking coffee. I was probably up to 2-3 cups per day during my short stint of BFing. She was only getting 50% BM though, so I don't know if that plays into it at all.
-
@mediagirl: my fingers are crossed! Thanks!
-
@Leah: what's Roma? Most days I miss the taste of real coffee more than the caffeine itself!
-
@locavore_mama: It is a roasted grain beverage. It looks and smells just like instant coffee. Once you figure out the right ratio of Roma to water, it is surprisingly similar to coffee. I get mine at Whole Foods or the nearby health food shop.

But good luck and enjoy your coffee!
