Can you drink coffee while breastfeeding?
Yes, hello you're going to need a little bit of a boost.
However the level of caffeine does matter, so if you want to have a cup of coffee in the morning there's nothing wrong with that. It's not going to affect the baby. It’s not going to make them jittery.
Now, if you have three shots of espresso, that’s a whole different ball game.
Can you drink the coffee, yes, just remember it dehydrates you, so add another cup of water in your daily intake later.
