Can i drink coffee if i’m breastfeeding baby?

Coffee is a common beverage for most women. But if too much is consumed, the caffeine may cause irritability and sleeplessness in the infant. Moderate consumption, say one to two cups a day, usually produces no effect. As a mother, i believe it is our responsibility to ensure that baby receives the best care.

So, in my opinion, it’s best to avoid coffee altogether when you are breastfeeding baby. Caffeine is a drug and most drugs are excreted in breast milk. So, doesnt it make sense to stop drinking coffee when you are breastfeeding your precious bundle. I know you can do it. Take a good look at baby, and ditch the coffee.
