How to kick the caffeine habit?

Question

I’m 14 weeks pregnant & go to Starbucks just about everyday on my way to work and I get a iced cinnamon dolce latte with three pumps of blonde espresso cause for some reason I thought blonde espresso means less caffeine but it’s actually more. After looking up how much caffeine is in my drink of choice (255mg) I looked up how much is safe while pregnant which is only 200mg. I know I can’t backwards so I decided moving forward to just cut out caffeine completely but it is hard and after four days I definitely feel the caffeine withdrawal. Any tips on how to get through it?

Answer

Can you just get a smaller version of the same drink?

Answer

why take it all away? just go down a little bit each week. enjoy your coffee.

Answer

You don’t have to cut it out, just reduce the amount of caffeine. Caffeine withdrawals suck butt and keeping it under 200mg a day is less stressful than going cold turkey. When I was pregnant, I just limited myself to 1 Coca Cola a day. Kept the headaches away and allowed me to indulge a little. 
Enjoy your coffee, just modify the ingredients a little.

Answer

You can do one shot of blonde espresso and two shots of decaf espresso… same taste, 1/3 the caffeine!

Answer

Just get less espresso shots and/or get a smaller size. Keep it under the 200 milligrams and you’ll be fine.

Answer

You don’t have to cut it out completely. I wouldn’t do 3 shots of espresso not pregnant. Maybe do 1.

Answer

Just cut back slightly. 
Make it one shot of espresso.
200mg is the recommendation. If that’s the only bit of caffeine you have in a day, don’t overly stress.

Answer

Following. If you find a way, please share because I want to completely get rid of coffee in my life because i have low hemoglobin and i found out coffee (among other things inc cocoa/choco, tea) is an iron absorption inhibitor. For a while (about 2 weeks?) i was ok with just oatmeal and milk, no coffee but couldnt make it past that. I have reduced my overall caffeine intake by drinking fresh or NFC orange juice, which is better for aiding iron absorption

Answer

Why not get a smaller one or adjust your drink choice to work into the recommended amount?

Answer

If you get 2 shots of expresso instead of 3 it would be within the limit. Also more recent study has shown up to 400mg of caffeine is considered safe. 200mg is outdated
