Can I drink coffee or caffeinated tea while breastfeeding?
Drinks with caffeine are permitted if they are consumed in moderation. In general, up to 2-3 cups of coffee or up to 4 cups of black or green tea are well tolerated. However, some babies are more sensitive than others. You should therefore pay attention to the baby's reaction. If the baby becomes restless or feels agitated after drinking drinks with caffeine, you should drink less.
Is it true that a glass of sparkling wine promotes milk production?
Alcoholic drinks do not stimulate milk production, but can even reduce it. Alcohol passes into breast milk, so it is best for mothers who are breastfeeding their baby to avoid alcohol. This is particularly important if the baby is exclusively breastfed. If you want to have a small glass of wine, beer or sparkling wine on special occasions, it is best to do so after breastfeeding.
