Energy drinks?

Is it ok to drink energy drinks while breastfeeding? I’ve been craving a redbull since pregnancy but stayed away while pregnant but now I’m a month Postpartum and I REALLY want one!

It’s definitely not recommended but honestly you’ll be fine

I googled it once, its like if you drink alcohol whilst breastfeeding, the caffeine hits the milk 1-2 hours after drinking so as long as you avoid that you should be fine but its never recommended

Caffeine is fine while BF, the amount is what to look out for. I always had my two cups of home steeped coffee and make it strong like crack 😂 but then didn't have any other caffeine for the rest of the day. I also had a glass or two of wine daily. Balance is key 🔑✨️

@Alicia that is a good point my sister in law would get a drink while breastfeeding and didn’t like pump and dump and she’s a doctor so I assumed a redbull would prob do no harm as long i limit myself

totally fine! 300mg of caffeine or less/day and you’re golden. sometimes if im having a real rough day, i hit 400mg (two alani drinks) and it’s been fine, also got the ok from my doctor and his pediatrician.

i have drank one to many red bulls while preg and my baby came out fine so drinking them while bf is okay just drink a smaller can.
