Can I drink soda while breastfeeding?

Drinking soda while breastfeeding is generally okay, but there are a few things to watch. Pay attention to caffeine and sugar content. One or two glasses of regular soda (caffeine-free) daily is usually safe. With caffeinated sodas, stay under 300 mg caffeine daily (roughly 2-3 cups of coffee)—caffeine passes into breast milk and can cause fussiness, sleep problems, and restlessness in babies. Also, sugary sodas can lower the nutritional quality of a nursing mother's diet. If you notice any negative effects (gas, fussiness, sleep trouble in your baby), try dropping that drink for a while and watching closely. If your baby shows an allergic reaction or clear distress, talk to your pediatrician.
