How many coffees per day is acceptable for a sleep deprived mother of a toddler and newborn

[littlepurplerose]

Yes, im breastfeeding. 😬

Ive had 2... contemplating a 3rd to get through this afternoon.

Brain fog not helping me to work out if that's excessive...!

Have the third coffee, you deserve it!
So little of what you drink actually goes into your milk.

I aim for 2 coffees and 1-2 teas but often have a third coffee (and occasionally a fourth).

The caffeine doesn’t go from the drink to your boob!
i wouldn’t hesitate on a third or fourth

Guys. I bloody love you all. I'm happy to inform you that my kettle is .....ON

4 or 5 over the course of the day and a large glass of wine at the end.

I wouldn’t worry too much about a fourth or fifth or even sixth, especially if it’s instant coffee. I counteract it with loads of water too.

As many as you need before feeling twitchy and skittish, which is usually 3 or 4 for me. You can have more if needed!

As much as you want and have. I would however, drink one cup of water after each coffee. Why? I don't know.

😂😂😂😂😂 we are friends

As many as you like, like a pp has said it won't go in breast milk.
I'd only advise decaf after a while because if I have too much coffee I get heart palpitations which sets my anxiety off!

I thought it can be passed on in breast milk? This page from the nhs says so.

Is there new data? I’m not breast feeding myself but have a friend who would love to know this!

I generally have coffee and switch to tea after midday, just incase the caffeine goes to my milk, but i drink alot of hot drinks (generally gone cold before i get to finish them lol) in the day probably 6+ xx

I try to stop after 5 strong filter coffees or 5pm, whichever comes sooner.
