Reply To: Caffeine During Pregnancy and Infant Sleep

[Ryann Kipping, MPH, RDN, LDN]

Hey, Jodi! Check out the note on caffeine here – I’m also working on a way to add my thesis paper on this topic from college. ( ;

I don’t think there is strong enough evidence to suggest caffeine in later stages of pregnancy could disturb newborn sleep. My recommendation still stands at 200-300 mg per day! If you are only doing a cup of coffee, you will be well under this amount which is very unlikely to cause any adverse pregnancy outcomes.
