Baileys in Coffee

Adding Baileys (or any alcohol) to coffee while breastfeeding combines caffeine and alcohol — both of which transfer to breast milk. A single shot of Baileys in coffee counts as one alcoholic drink. Wait at least 2 hours after finishing before nursing, and count the coffee toward your daily caffeine limit. Hot coffee does not 'burn off' the alcohol.

Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
