Did you cut out caffeine while you were breastfeeding?

    Nope I was drinking half caff but now I drink whatever it doesn't bother him.

    I would only have occasional small amounts of caffeine while pregnant and a full cup of coffee made me feel super wired at first after LO was born so I just eased back into it mostly for my sake. Never seemed to bother LO and by the time I was back at work I needed my daily cup of morning coffee!

    I drank caffeine with both and they seemed to handle it okay

    I kept my caffeine intake really low during pregnancy but then cut it out completely once DS was born. Then I went to decaf (there's still some caffeine in there!), then half caff, and now I'll have one cup a day most days. It doesn't seem to bother him at all!

    I have a cup almost every morning, I need it to get through the day. Once in a while I have a coke at lunch and most days I have a mug of tea in the afternoon, but most of the time decaf for tea.

    For the first couple weeks after he was born I didn't have coffee, but not for any reason, then I slowly started having it again.

    I was really careful with caffeine consumption with DS. He was a terrible sleeper anyways and caffeine seemed to make it worse. So far, DD is only 4 weeks, but I will occasionally have coffee and she seems fine so far. FWIW, I drank a lot more caffeine while pregnant with DD (just 1-2 espressos per day), whereas I didn't drink much coffee at all when pregnant with DS.

    I'm really hoping that the fact that I've drank coffee (1 a day) throughout pregnancy will mean that my baby is used to it and it won't bother him/her! I'll never forget my sisters Facebook status when her second daughter was 3 weeks old "Listen LO - if its the coffee, the wine or the cheese that's bothering you, I suggest you work it out on your end - I was here first"...words I also intend to live by, but we'll see when the baby comes!

    I had to cut it out completely because it gave LO reflux. He is 12 months now and I am in the process of weaning him. I will have a coke every once in a while and it doesn't seem to bother him anymore.
