Coca-Cola
A 12oz can of Coca-Cola has about 34mg of caffeine — one of the lower caffeinated options in this category. The main consideration is sugar content (39g per can), not caffeine. Enjoy occasionally as part of a balanced diet.
Up to 300mg caffeine/day total (~34mg per 12oz can); moderate sugar intake
Coke's caffeine content is low enough that a can or two per day barely dents the 300mg limit. The real nutritional consideration is the high sugar content. For breastfeeding parents, staying well hydrated and nourished is important, and high-sugar sodas can displace more nutritious drinks. Occasional Coke is totally fine — just not as an everyday staple.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
