I had a cup of matcha in the evening (Nescafé capsule). How long must I wait to be able to latch baby directly? Have been pumping and intend to use the immediate 2 sessions after the matcha in the day time for fear of any residual caffeine in them

How old is your baby? I love matcha and sometimes latch baby almost immediately after drinking. The caffeine in Nescafe capsule is relatively low. Again, it all depends on how your baby reacts to caffeine. A baby who is being overstimulated by caffeine is a wide-eyed, active, alert baby who doesn’t sleep for long. He may also be unusually fussy. If your baby seems particularly wakeful or fussy and there is a significant amount of caffeine in your diet, you might want to cut back or stop the caffeine for 2-3 weeks to see if it makes a difference. If you cut out caffeine, consider decreasing it slowly since abruptly stopping caffeine can result in headaches or other symptoms. If caffeine stimulation is a problem for baby, it may take a few days to a week after mom eliminates caffeine for baby to become less fussy.
