Can drink hot green tea while breastfeeding?

Hi, It may surprise you, if you are not aware that even green tea has caffeine in it. And caffeine affects the production of breast milk. It can cause gastrointestinal problems and can also cause constipation in breastfeeding women. Also, whatever mother eats reaches breast milk in 6 hours so excessive drinking of tea can make caffeine reach milk and when baby drinks it, he may become restless, wide-eyed and hyper-active. Personally, I feel that if you can avoid having tea then do, else have it in moderation. And have it after breastfeeding. Also, most teas contain caffeine so opt for herbal tea. You can also go for decaf tea. Herbal teas that are safe to have and also help in increasing the milk supply are: fenugreek tea, fennel tea and raspberry tea.
