Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew tends to be stronger than regular drip coffee because of the extended steeping process and often higher coffee-to-water ratios. A standard serving can have 150–200mg of caffeine, so it can eat up a big chunk of your daily limit quickly.
Up to 300mg caffeine/day total; check labels — one bottle can be 150–200mg
Cold brew concentrate is especially high in caffeine — if diluted 1:1 with water or milk, it becomes more moderate. Ready-to-drink cold brew from the store varies widely (80–200mg per bottle), so check the label. A single serving is likely fine, but having multiple large servings could push you over the 300mg/day limit. Be especially cautious with branded cold brew drinks that don't list caffeine content clearly.
Safer Alternatives:
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
