How much caffeine can I get away with?

I'm knackered all the time recently but haven't wanted to have too much caffeine to help with it.

Does anyone know how much is passed through in to the milk? I'm not about to start mainlining red bull but a few extra cups of tea might help

My lg is horrendous if I have any caffeine so I don't bother!! I think the recommendation is one or two cups a day but it probably depends on how ?ou baby reacts to it.

I have a cup of posh instant in the morning and sometimes a Costas when out. Baby seems ok. Doesn't have bad nights when I had the Costas or amazing nights when I had none!

Seems to have no effect for me. Have some and if it has an effect don't do it again

I don't regulate caffeine at all. Very little comes through and it made no difference to any of my three. Smile

I've always drunk as much as I like with no apparent effects. Maybe 4-5 cups a day.

I have one shop bought skinny latte a day, which has two shots in it. My daily treat and boy do I enjoy it! Seems to have no impact on DD. Did same with DS. If it helps you feel better, go for it!

I think I would've given up breastfeeding by now if I couldn't drink tea! I probably have about 4 cups a day (but realistically only get to drink half a cup before it goes cold). I have a coffee every few days when I'm really flagging.

I have 3 cups of tea a day andmaybe 1 coffee a week. I need my tea, it's my one treat. EBF is hard enough on us mums without depriving ourselves completely.

I drank 2 cups of tea per day, sometimes 3, during the pregnancy so I'm sure ds is well used to it Blush
