Is Anyone drinking soda or coffee while breastfeeding ??

 

[Genna]

I know I shouldn't...but BF has given me the biggest sweet tooth. No coffee, but I've been having one soda a day.

Just tea. I dont drink pop.

Just pop....I don't drink tea and coffee

 

[Mervs Mum]

I like a pop at your house.....as Pepsi Max comes out your taps.....

I drink tea and the occasional coke...

I have found since having Brenn the least bit of caffine really affects me. But a cup a day is not going to hurt.

i tried sugar-free pop as i thought that would be better
biiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake
lillun was screaming with wind all day and was having bubbly poops
back to normal pop for me

(OH left an open can in fridge for 2 days to go flat as he doesnt like fizz, it stayed fizzy!)

I rarely drink pop, but I am definitely a java girl! When I was breastfeeding exclusively, I did what I did throughout my pregnancy - one mug of coffee that was a third coffee and two-thirds milk. Now I am weaning and FF, in addition to BF, so I drink three of those "lattes" throughout the morning. I do this well after Simon has had his morning boobing, though.

I am not drinking coffee and rarely drink tea in the warm weather. I only have 1 glass of coke a day and just drink litres of water!

Caffeine can increase your milk supply but it does cross through your milk

Increase? Really???
The first dr I took Marley too flipped when I asked if I could stll have a cup of coffee, he said it decreases your milk supply?

Im not a Dr but i think everyone seems to say something different i know friends that drank soda everyday while breastfeeding and there milk supply and babies were perfectly fine ........and at my pediatrician there are several Dr's there and each one says something different about soda and coffee .....
