Encore: Caffeine and Breastfeeding

Let’s talk about caffeine! Every parents’ BFF is their morning coffee, but is it safe during lactation? Join Heather & Maureen as they share what we know and what the guidelines say now.

We’re still on a break over here at the Milk Minute, so please enjoy one of our favorite episodes with a new twist.

Listener Question: A lot of places suggest weaning off the bottle at 1 year. What do you do about sending breastmilk to daycare beyond 1 year? Is now too early to offer offer milk in a straw cup? Or an open cup? Do you warm the milk up?
