Is it okay to drink coffee if I'm breastfeeding?
assistant
It depends on your individual situation and goals. If you're looking for general guidance, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that nursing mothers limit their caffeine intake to no more than 200 milligrams per day (about two 8-ounce cups of coffee). However, some studies have suggested that moderate amounts of caffeine may be beneficial for lactating women as it can help increase milk production. Ultimately, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider or lactation specialist to determine the right amount of caffeine for you during this time.
