Is it safe to drink coffee while breastfeeding?

Yes, it is generally safe to drink coffee while breastfeeding, but moderation is key. Here are some points to consider:

1. Limit Caffeine Intake: Aim for no more than 300 mg of caffeine per day (about 2-3 cups of coffee). Excessive caffeine can lead to irritability and sleep disturbances in babies.
2. Monitor Your Baby: If you notice increased fussiness or difficulty sleeping in your baby, consider reducing your caffeine intake.
3. Timing Matters: If you’re concerned, you might choose to drink your coffee right after breastfeeding or during a time when your baby is not likely to be affected.
