Yes, you can drink coffee while breastfeeding, but in moderation.
Staying under 2-3 cups daily (roughly 300 mg caffeine) is generally considered safe. Caffeine does pass into breast milk, but only about 1% of what you consume. Still, some babies—especially newborns—can be sensitive to caffeine and may show fussiness, trouble sleeping, or restlessness. If you notice this in your baby, try cutting back.
Having coffee right after nursing gives the caffeine time to partly clear before the next feed. Premature or newborn babies clear caffeine more slowly, so being extra careful in the first months makes sense.
