Hi all, urgent question. I just had a grande latte from starbucks. Problem is i am still breastfeeding my bb. Should i express out the milk later today and throw it away? Or i should not be worried and should keep the breastmilk? Many tks for your advice.

Hi Well2....just dont worry...nothing will happen....definitely dont throw ur milk away.....when i came home with my baby 5 months back, we had my parents over to help me out....and I accidently took several sips from my dad's blacktcurrant juice....which infact was not just the juice but juice plus vodka.......he normally has his vodka with the juice and i didnt realise that....i panicked like crazy...but nothing happened .....so just dont worry....

I had coffee while b/feeding, it was fine so i think nothing to worry.

I have heard conflicting advice regarding caffeine and b/f (as with advice on most other parenting subjects) however I drink an espresso coffee everyday (significantly stronger than Starbucks who make very weak coffee) and it seems to have no effect on bubs whatsoever. He has very sleepy days and very wakeful days regardless of my caffiene intake! If you want to be on the safe side the lac consult at my hospital says caffeine peaks in your system about one hour after you drink it, so she suggested drinking coffee immediately after a feed if you are concerned.

Many thanks. Okay, caffeine doesn't seem to be too big a problem. I am going to express now and i will keep the milk for BB :-)

Yes, dont think too much, my frd had coffee thru out her preg and during breast feeding coz she had to have her morg coffee before starting her day....it was fine with her...
ur bubs might keep awake more than usual...but it will pass..so dont worry..

Some babies are really affected by mum's caffeine intake, some not at all.

I had no problems drinking a grande latte with my two babies.
Your mileage may vary.
