2 shots of espresso- how many times should I pump n dump?

Question

While breastfeeding if I have a Starbucks drink of 2 shots of espresso how many times should I pump n dump before letting my LO breastfeed again?

Answer

Zero!!! Save that gold

Answer

No, you’re fine.

Answer

Pump and dump doesn’t work. Once it’s out of your system it’s out of your milk

Answer

Two shots of espresso from Starbucks is only 150mg of caffeine, 75mg each. That is less than a tall cup of brewed coffee. The recommendations I have seen are less than 200-300 mg of caffeine a day. So you are below the limit.

Answer

Timing is more important than pumping and dumping. If it is out of your blood, it is out of your milk.
