Is decaf coffee safe while breastfeeding?

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting caffeine consumption during breastfeeding to no more than 300 mg per day, which is equivalent to about two to three cups of brewed coffee. Decaf coffee contains only a small amount of caffeine, typically less than 2 mg per cup, so it is generally considered safe to consume while breastfeeding. However, it's important to keep in mind that individual sensitivities to caffeine can vary, so it's always a good idea to monitor your baby for signs of caffeine sensitivity, such as fussiness, irritability, or difficulty sleeping. If you notice any of these symptoms, you may want to limit or avoid consuming caffeine, including decaf coffee.
