Unfortunately my migraines have decided to come back. Which of course means that I needed some caffeine to help. Even more unfortunate than the migraines is the, at the time, unknown fact that caffeine does pass into the milk and then on to the baby. So yesterday poor Kaelen couldn't sleep at all. She went 7 hours before sleeping for just an hour. Thankfully it would appear that the caffeine is out of both our systems.
Now, I'm thinking, if caffeine can get into the milk, could not also Chamomile and Anise? Chamomile is good for a ton of stuff like relaxing and working as an anti-inflammatory. Anise is very good against flatulence, which would be a very good thing for babies.
*Just for clarification: I am not refering to the alcohol Anise, but the herbal tea. =)
What things have you eaten or drank while nursing that you noticed had a direct affect on you baby?
