Does anyone know how long after consumption caffeine is present in breastmilk? Does caffeine act like alcohol in that it is present in breastmilk at similar percentage as in blood, so that it gradually decreases in potency over time?

I've been looking on the LLL website but haven't found these answers yet. Anyone have a good resource?
