Has anyone successfully given up caffeine?

Currently attempting this. Bubs is reeeeally hard to settle, wakes frequently and has a very windy tummy. Trying to cut out caffeine to address (the cause of) sleep deprivation seems like the world's cruelest joke. I'm running on 3ish hours' sleep and getting up to a very volatile 2 yr old... FFS I NEED coffee!!!

I really like the decaf we have -tastes just the same to me, and was enjoying that as some compensation... Until Pinky and my GP both suggested I need to try cutting out dairy too. Bugger.

GL Hun. It's hard to break the habit with just 'depriving' yourself. See if you can replace the coffee with something that makes you feel good so you still get a positive ... kWIM? Sorry. No sleep makes brain mushy and expression garbled!

Soy Decaf latte anyone? Surprising after a few the taste grows on you, well it did for me after I was having the same issues with Wind for both DD's. I was told now caffeine and no dairy so tried the SDL and that is what I still drink.

You know i tried for a very short time; massive fail. (said sipping on my second latte this morning) But when i go out now i have the first as a regular coffee and then decaf after that. Most decent coffee places have water filtered decaf i have found i can taste the difference, but it's ok, and sorts out the 'social coffee' problem for me.
Decaf instant on the other hand, i haven't found a good one. So maybe get decaf ground coffee and a plunger and try that at home?
The other thing i do here now is have a rooibos tea in the arvo, caffeine free, i have a vanilla one and i quite like it. Are you fan of exotic teas? Maybe visit teatoo and get something yum that appeals?
