Decaf Coffee

Decaf is a great option if you love the taste of coffee but want to keep caffeine exposure minimal. It still contains a small amount of caffeine (about 2–15mg per cup), but that's well within safe limits. Enjoy it freely!

No specific limit; very low residual caffeine (~2–15mg per cup)
Decaf coffee is made by removing most — but not all — of the caffeine from coffee beans. The trace amounts remaining are unlikely to affect your baby or your milk supply. It's a smart swap if you're already hitting your daily caffeine limit from other sources.
