Mothers during lactation should not use coffee, soft drinks, chocolate, and certain cold medications that contain caffeine.

1. Easy to cause anemia

The tannins contained in tea can combine with iron in food, affecting the absorption of iron in the intestines, thereby causing anemia. The higher the concentration of tea, the higher the content of tannins, and the more serious the impact on iron absorption. Women during lactation need to nourish their bodies, and drinking tea during lactation leads to anemia, which is counterproductive. At the same time, the caffeine in tea can enter the baby’s body through breast milk, which is easy to cause intestinal cramps and sudden crying without reason.

2. Affects breastfeeding

Drinking tea during lactation will also affect breastfeeding. Because during this period, if a large amount of tea is consumed, the high concentration of tannins in the tea will be absorbed by the mucosa, which will affect the blood circulation of the mammary glands, inhibit the secretion of milk, and cause insufficient milk supply.

3. Affects the baby’s health

After the mother drinks the tea, the caffeine in the tea is absorbed by the baby through the breast milk, which can excite the underdeveloped organs such as the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract, thereby speeding up respiration, causing gastrointestinal cramps, and causing the baby to cry or sleep less without reason.
