Briefly about caffeine
Coffee, not to mention caffeine, which it contains at a large concentration, is unpleasant for a person, if you drink more than 1 cups per day. However, caffeine is easy to meet in many food products, which can not be guessing at all. So, the list of prohibited due to the content of caffeine products during lactation:
- strong black tea;
- anesthetic drugs;
- dark and dairy, chocolate products;
- drink tonic, energy, and just Coca-Cola.
Gradually, during the first 12 months from the genus, the body of the baby will learn to absorb caffeine, but earlier this term he is strictly contraindicated in the infirmity diet. After all, as you know, the smallest part of the food that mother used will be transformed into breast milk for feeding. And if we hope that the traces of coffee use with breastfeeding will take away between feedings, then it is possible to guess, because the substance is dangerous for the baby only after 5 hours from the reception of coffee. For comparison, the infant organism will spend about 4 days to get rid of caffeine. Consequently, the conclusion is: caffeine accumulates in the body of the baby if his mother abuses this fragrant drink.
What is dangerous caffeine for baby?
The reception of caffeine negatively affects the nervous system not only the mother, but also the infants. An unreasonable irritability or apathy arises, sudden anxiety, night and daily sleep disorders. In addition, coffee with breastfeeding a little has a relative relationship with addiction, which is not exactly necessary for a small little man.
If the mother notices such reactions in a child, then she should stop drinking coffee or reduce caffeine-containing products in their diet.
However, unambiguous short or long-term harm to the health of the baby from the use of coffee with his mother is not proven, because even premature babies are prescribed to maintain breathing drugs with a dose of caffeine.
Many mothers argue that when taking about 3 cups of coffee per day and with parallel feeding with breast milk, their defores did not show any irritable reactions. But there are such cases when the child after milk with caffeine became overly active, much cried, could not fall asleep, and even the manifestations of allergies and stool disorders. Also, pediatricians in one voice claim that coffee with breastfeeding for the baby is harmful, first of all, the fact that it flits from the growing body useful trace elements, in particular calcium. Moreover, it contributes to a diuretic action, that is, dehydrates the body, which is very dangerous for a small child.
It is very important to monitor the used amounts of coffee or strong tea with breastfeeding in the diet of a nursing woman in the period when her child is on any treatment. For example, if the doctor's testimony in connection with the respiratory dysfunction of the lungs for the baby is needed to receive Euphilline, his mothers need to inform the doctor about the drinking cup of coffee to avoid the inception of caffeine infants. 
So drinking or drinking coffee with breastfeeding?
It is better not to drink this drink during lactation. After all, it is unlikely after the transition of the kid to the usual nutrition at the age of 1 year, the mother will give him coffee drinks, because the body is already probably good to get used to caffeine. But still, if you fail to refrain from your favorite delicacy, the safest way of drinking coffee will be 1 diluted cup, diluted with milk, after feeding during the first half of the day. Or, if a forced pause is expected in feeding, for example, in connection with the affairs, use coffee for 5 or more hours to feeding. If no problem is observed in any mother, no baby, you can not be afraid and drinking coffee in reasonable doses - 1-2 cups per day.
