I try to limit my coffee intake so that I can still drink normal tea (about 3 cups a day). I limited myself basically to what I had while pg when DD was little, with the occasional coffee thrown in for a treat. Where possible I get decaf, but I don't feel it had any effect on my DD.
I read somewhere that the caffiene (sp?) can pass through to the bubs through your milk so while I was preggers I would only ever have 1 mocha a day, maybe a tea. Since DS has been born I only drink hot chocolate (although that does have caffiene as well). It is amazing how tasty decaf coffee is if you haven't had a real one for a while.
If you google caffiene you should find a caffiene calculator so you can see how much you are having.
Let us know how you go I am interested in knowing.
Hmmm haven't tried it yet, but have been having more tea than I used to when I was pregnant (ie. about 4 each day instead of 2). For now she is sleeping soooooo well I don't want to upset the applecart. Might just resort to a hot choccy if I feel the urge. But thanks for all the tips, and if I crack and have a latte I'll report back the results.
