18mths and still no tea
"HollyLewis" wrote in message ... i miss tea. boy, i miss tea. I don't suppose herbal or decaf types do it for you? :-) I know I would have a *very* hard time if I had to give up my coffee completely, so I sympathize! i like herbal, so i'll be sticking to that for a while. i might try again at 2.5 & see how i go. LOL! -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 |

I totally sympathize. I went through my whole pregnancy craving milkshakes, but gallbladder problems meant I couldn't have them. Caterpillar's dairy allergy was diagnosed right before I had my gallbladder out. doh! what bad timing. Some weeks, I'll dream every night that I ate a peanut butter cookie (a triple nono for us). And I don't even like peanut butter cookies. i haven't gotten to the dreaming yet.............. -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 |

i guess this is a bit of a vent. last time i tried to have a cup of tea was at 10 mths & DS still couldn't handle the caffeine in my breastmilk and was bouncing off the walls. i thought i would be ok at 18 mths, but i tried a cup of tea yesterday morning and still no luck. not as bad, but still couldn't handle it. hmpf. guess i just have to resign myself to add tea to the list of "can never have whilst i am breastfeeding" (which might be a very long time, esp if we try for a #2 anytime soon!). i miss tea. boy, i miss tea. i also miss egg (DS allergic). i miss peanut butter (withholding until 5yrs because of the egg allergy). oh well, at least i know DS is getting the best! Hi Elizabeth, How often is DS nursing these days? Perhaps you could time your tea carefully and have the caffeine clear your system before the next nursing session? -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 Scheherazade, stillborn at 20 weeks, 3/2/04 |

I think they have minute amounts, but I could be wrong. It also depends on
how the caffeine is removed (I think the "Naturally Decaffeinated" is the better choice). I drink it out of choice as caffeine makes me climb the walls, so God knows how it would affect DD!!! "elizabeth emerald" wrote in message ... "CY" wrote in message newsV61c.9560$Zp.1392@fed1read07... I love tea too, but after a few experiments I found some great decaf that I can't tell from the "real thing". Have you tried any of them? (I personally like Typhoo Decaf from the UK which you can get many places online - I'll send you a bag or two if you like so you can test it out before you buy it???) YMMV of course! i quite like herbal teas (chamomile, peppermint, RRL etc) so i'll stick with them. do the decaf teas still have a little caffeine like decaf coffee? -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 |

Hi Elizabeth, How often is DS nursing these days? Perhaps you could time your tea carefully and have the caffeine clear your system before the next nursing session? it actually seems to stay in his system for about 3 days. bummer! -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 |

Wow -- that's long! But how long does it stay in your system? I've read that the body clears alcohol from milk at the same rate as it clears it from the blood. Presumably something similar might be happening with caffeine? -- Emily mom to Toby 5/1/02 Scheherazade, stillborn at 20 weeks, 3/2/04 |

Presumably something similar might be happening with caffeine? a cup of tea will usually have me alert for at least half a day. but i think it's harder to tell with an adult. i did read somewhere (was it on this ng?) that caffeine stays in a child's body for at least 100hrs. scary! i guess the effects are just more noticeable in some people. i have always been a "cheap drunk" too as a little alcohol goes a long way with me. i don't drink these days though. -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02 |
