EBF and coffee?

Question

Hello! I drank coffee throughout my pregnancy but around the third trimester I slowed down ALOT on the caffeine intake. Like only a small cup in the morning to get me to work. After baby was born I tried drinking small amounts of coffee again in thenmornjbgs but priced the days that Indra j coffee my baby WOULD NOT NAP. Like he would sleep for 15 minutes and then just fuss and fuss. I figured out it was the caffeine and haven’t had a cup of coffee since 3 weeks PP. 
baby is now 12 weeks old and about 10 pounds. I’m wanting to start drinking coffee again! I’ve been drinking non caffeine teas but I’m getting bored. Lol
Any mommas who EBF and drink caffeine? How old is your baby, how much do they weigh and how do they react? How much do you drink? Do you feed baby before or after your morning cup of coffee? I’ve read that newborns are way more sensitive to the caffeine we drink and that the half life of caffeine in a a new born can range anywhere from 50-100 hours! 
I miss my coffee!!

Answer

I drink coffee all day long, doesn't seem to bother my 15 weeker.

Answer

I drink coffee from time to time and LO doesn’t seem to mind or react to it when I do :) the pediatrician told us that similar to when I was pregnant, 2 cups of coffee (even up to 3) per day is ok

Answer

I have a few cups a day. Doesn’t seem to impact her. She slept 7.5 hours last night.

Answer

Mine will be 15 weeks on Thursday and it doesn’t bother him. I drink one cup a day and he’s probably 12lbs by now.

Answer

I am EBF and drink coffee (not every day but just about). It doesn’t seem to effect my little one much if at all. I do typically feed her before my morning coffee though. She is 3.5 months and weights around 13 lbs. Also I’m a NICU nurse and we actually use caffeine as a medication for lots of babies and the half life is more like 24 hours.

Answer

I have a few cups a day. My lo is used to it tho because I was drinking the max allowed throughout. I have a BAD caffiene addiction and get headaches if I don't. My doctor said very little goes to the baby as long as you stay below 300 mg.

Answer

If you want coffee but it impacts your LO just drink decaf! Especially if you’ve already cut the caffeine weeks ago and it sounds like you don’t need it (aren’t having headaches, etc). It still feels like you’re getting that coffee ritual, and if you’re out n about you can still get fancier decaf drinks made at coffee shops 😊

Answer

I quit coffee entirely about halfway through pregnancy, as many coffees tend to make me sick and the only ones that didn't or to pregnancy were now also making me feel ill. I recently starting drinking two shots of nespresso. My daughter seems unchanged imo.

Answer

I drink a cup of coffee in the morning every other day probably. Never noticed a difference in her at all.

Answer

I drank coffee too, but it seemed to bother my little girl. She is 16 weeks and has 8,3 kilo. If I drink more than one cup in the morning, she is not sleeping well, is fussy bc she is tired but cannot sleep,  turns her head around like a junkie 😅 and wakes up every 1, 5h at night. 
Doctors and midwifes here in Germany say that it lasts in babys body for three days so therefore 3 cups is maximum 🤔...typical symptoms are the same as in adults who drank too much caffeine.
