Can I drink coffee during lactation?

Many breastfeeding mothers consult, can you drink coffee during breastfeeding? The answer is yes. Drinking coffee during lactation does not affect breastfeeding, and it will not affect your baby's health. Although part of the caffeine intake of breastfeeding mothers eventually reaches breast milk, a large number of studies have shown that it is less than 1% of the intake. How many coffee can a breastfeeding mother drink each day? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends no more than 3 cups per day; International Breast Milk recommends no more than 5 cups per day.

Caffeine appears rapidly in breastmilk after maternal ingestion, and is usually the highest in breastmilk after 60 minutes of ingestion. When the mother ingests caffeine (equivalent to ≥10 cups of coffee) in large quantities, there are reports of infant irritability, nervousness, and poor sleep. However, studies have also shown that mothers' daily 5 cups of coffee have no stimulatory effect on 3 weeks and older babies. However, preterm infants and neonates are slow to metabolize caffeine and need to be more cautious.

Caffeine in coffee is the main ingredient and has a particularly strong bitter taste that stimulates the central nervous system, heart and respiratory system.

However, excessive intake can cause caffeine poisoning.

During breastfeeding, if mothers drink coffee, caffeine is contained in the coffee and they enter the baby through milk. The baby's body is still very fragile and it will inevitably not adapt.

Although breast-feeding mothers have some harm to their babies, there are some ways to reduce the impact on their health.

If breastfeeding mothers consume more than 400 milligrams of caffeine a day (probably the amount of caffeine you have absorbed from 4 cups of coffee), it may harm your baby. Therefore, it is best for mothers to control caffeine intake during breast-feeding.

If mother wants to drink one or two cups of coffee or tea one day during breast-feeding, he must consciously try to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day to reduce the damage to the baby. In addition, the mother does not immediately feed the baby after drinking coffee, generally after 1-2 hours to consider the baby to nurse, and it is best to drink before noon.
