Guayusa Tea

Guayusa is a caffeinated tea from the Amazon (related to yerba mate) that contains about 66mg of caffeine per cup — similar to green tea. In moderation, it's likely fine while breastfeeding, but it hasn't been specifically studied in nursing mothers. Count it toward your daily caffeine limit of 300mg and monitor your baby for any sensitivity.

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