Espresso
Espresso is more concentrated than drip coffee, but because the serving size is so small, a single shot has about 63mg of caffeine — less than a full cup of coffee. You can absolutely enjoy espresso as part of a balanced daily caffeine budget.
Up to ~300mg caffeine/day total; 1–2 shots per drink is typical
A single 1oz espresso shot contains roughly 63mg of caffeine; a double shot is about 126mg. These amounts are manageable within the 300mg/day limit, but keep in mind that espresso-based drinks (lattes, cappuccinos) can add up quickly if you have several throughout the day. Track your total caffeine from all sources — coffee, tea, chocolate, and soda included.
Safer Alternatives:
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
