Week 10 News
If you're a breastfeeding mum and you think that coffee is off the agenda, we have some good news... You can drink caffeine whilst breastfeeding - just keep it to 3-4 cups per week. You should try to avoid alcohol, though, as it can transfer into breast milk and affect your baby. |

Tip: Your little ray of sunshine
If you're breastfeeding, it's recommended that you take a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D. Being out in the sun for 10 or 15 minutes a day also helps replenish those valuable vitamin D levels. Just remember to apply sun cream! |
