Coffee addict here....
« on: May 16, 2014, 13:24:22 pm »
I'm on 1 cup (LARGE cup) of caffeinated coffee a day, but still crave that time-out-I'm-having-coffee experience. I started drinking decaf and am wondering if it can affect BF at all? (I use a lot of milk... does that help at all?)

I drank a cup or two of regular coffee all through pregnancy and bf three times...no ill effect at all. I have tea or decaf after 10 am but only because it affects my sleep!

This is not what you asked (about BF) but this coffee alternative is a great taste.  It gave me the coffee-like hit of flavour I was looking for when I took a year off coffee.

They sell in the UK but don't know about Germany, also on Amazon. I was able to get a set of taster packs for free which was amazing.

Wondering the same... I drink a LOT first thing, like three cups and DS' first nap needs to be "supervised", meaning I stay with him the whole time and then feed throughout nap.

Some babies are sensitive to caffeine but it shouldn't affect supply.

There is some great info here on it http://kellymom.com/bf/can-i-breastfeed/lifestyle/caffeine/

If you drink decaf then that should be fine.
