Caffeine

It is considered safe for someone to consume caffeine while breastfeeding. However, a small amount of caffeine does get into грудне молоко.1 It is suggested to limit caffeine while breastfeeding to 3-4 cups per day.2

And, our apologies for breaking this news to chocolate lovers: Since the recommendation is to keep caffeine intake under 300mg,3 we are sad to report that you should consider limiting your chocolate consumption to about half a pound per day.
