Will baby sleep better if I quit caffeine?

Question

My baby hasn't been sleeping well durring the day. It's very hard for me to get him to nap. I'm exhausted from it. I've been swaddling, car rides, swing, rocking, breastfeeding, and nothing works easily. I drink caffeine daily. Not much, but a coke or two a day. Has anyone experienced their baby sleeping better after quiting caffeine consumption?

Answer

Are they sleeping well at night? I drink 1/2 caff daily and my lo only takes 30-45 min naps during the day but will sleep up to 12 hrs uninterrupted at night. So even though I'd love her naps to be longer, she's getting the recommended hours of sleep collectively.

Answer

My baby is not sensitive to caffeine. Are you sure yours is? My advice is to not complicate breastfeeding too much

According to La Leche League International:

"The amount of caffeine in five or fewer five ounce cups of coffee will not cause problems to the mother or the baby"
